Zinedine Zidane: Tactics Explained

- Welcome back! Today I’m discussing Zinedine Zidane, taking a look at his history as a manager and analysing how he gets the best out of his players through tactics, development and man management, using his two spells at Real Madrid as examples.

Born in Marseille in 1972, Zinedine Zidane is a former professional footballer who played in attacking midfield. One of the greatest players of all time, Zidane began his career at Cannes in 1989 before playing for Bordeaux, Juventus and Real Madrid, ultimately retiring in 2006. After hanging up his boots, Zidane returned to football in 2010 as a first team advisor to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid followed by a spell as Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant. Zidane worked with Real Madrid Castilla for a time before being appointed as the head coach of the first team in 2016. In two and a half years, Zidane won 3 Champions League trophies as well as Madrid’s first La Liga title since 2012. Zizou resigned in 2018 but was ultimately reappointed in early 2019 after Julian Lopetegui and Santiago Solari both struggled. Zidane regained La Liga in his first full season and finished second in the 2020/21 campaign before resigning again so at the time of release, Zinedine Zidane is without a job.

Tactically, Zidane has shown himself to be excellent. The Frenchman has used a range of shapes throughout his career, often choosing the system that will give his side a natural advantage against his opposition although his go to shape is the 4-3-3. In over 260 games as Real Madrid manager, Zizou has deployed the shape 179 times. Whilst this formed the basis for most of his success, Zidane adapted accordingly in the Champions League and his back to back to back winners highlight his evolution: moving from the 4-3-3 in his 15/16 success to a 4-4-2 diamond as a response to the popular flat 4-4-2 at the time and Gareth Bale’s injury problems before he returned to the 4-3-3 and utilised a flat 4-4-2 himself in the 2017/18 campaign.
Despite the pragmatism, Zidane does have core principles. Unlike many of the most successful coaches in the modern game, Zidane favours simplicity. The Frenchman creates a system that is player focused and allows his star men to make correct decisions, he just chooses the right star men for the occasion. That being said, there were consistencies with Zizou’s tactics. Where possible he used a midfield three with two playmakers anchored by a destroyer. Famously this was Toni Kroos and Luka Modric ahead of Casemiro and this trio were able to completely control the tempo of a game. Whilst these midfielders orchestrated, the creativity was pushed onto the full backs who held the width and allowed Madrid’s forwards to operate closer to goal.

A world class man manager that gets respect because of his ability as a player, Zinedine Zidane is a tactically very astute manager that’s comfortable with a number of different shapes and systems. Whilst he’s never built a team up from the ground his ability to get the best out of superstars means he’ll turn a team of great players into winners.
But anyway guys what do you think? How good is Zinedine Zidane? And where do YOU THINK he’ll be managing next? Let me know in the comments below.

Where do you think Zizou will manage next? 🤔
PSG or France.
Off course at manchester united
Probably France
I really dont think the PL will suit him Dave. It seems like you lot know more about this than you are letting on
France
Finally someone makes a holistic and educated video on Zidane’s tenure(s) at Real.
It's that 19/20 la liga season that gave him a lot of street credibility. Ensuring his earlier success wasn't a fluke he went on to win the league without Cristiano Ronaldo. Zidane has earned his stripes as a coach.
Give me Zidane and 10 pieces of wood, I'll win you the Champions League. SAF knew. SAF knew
A footballing great. Not only as a player but also as a manager. In his short spell, he has done what no other managers have been able to do. The only trophy that eluded him was the CDR. There are people who say that ZZ is not a great tactician. Like seriously? The greatest midfielder of all time is not a tactician? His tactics are simple and not flashy. He does what is needed. And above all he knows who to bring the best out of the squad that he has.
And he is waiting on something bigger, probably the biggest. That is the French National Team. And he is one of the favourites for the top job.
Would love to hear Dave talk about how ten Hag may set up United
He won't come to United. He is defo going to city replacing Pep after 2 years.
I’m pretty sure he already talked about it in a video
@@nivi6414 money talks
@@nivi6414 Brendan Rodgers and Ten Hag are more likely, according to reports, and generally how City's board like to keep continuity
He’s not going to downgrade mate
I cannot for the life of me understand people that call Zidane the “French Ole” 😭The man is literally underrated as a coach
Eh jo
No ones ever said that. Ole is a disaster.
@@thebizness5596 you’d be surprised how many people on Twitter were calling him that
He is a French Ole.
At least Zidane is a proven winner, while ole is a professional bottler
Great breakdown!
I feel like managers who focus more on the man management side tend to get underrated in the modern era - there's still very much a place for this style at the top clubs. From a personal side, I'm not sure that's at United, primarily due to the lack of footballing competence amongst our board.
Thanks Neb
True, plus zidane is actually a really good tactician people just don't notice that because he doesnt have a philosiphy, but isn't changing tactics to suit your players and to expliot youre oponent more tacticaly impresive than stubornly insisting with one style
@Shafin Khadem Valid point, I would have agreed last season but the current team is a defensive midfielder away from bieng good enough to compete for the biggest trophies, I dont think Untied need a manager who will rebuild like klop or pep have done, rather they need a manager who can get the best out of the curent team
@Shafin Khadem United's defenders are good under the right manager, for exaple Shaw and Maguire look briliant for england, it would be similar to how Tuchel turned defenders who looked like clowns(Rudi and Cristian) into world class or top defenders Zidane is know for getting the best out of players, Pogba will stay( and will actualy care) if zidane came and Lingard isn't an Important player anyway, in 2 years Greenwood win be good enough to start up top in place of Ronaldo and Cavani, as for Man City this team may not look good enough right now but under Zidane they would be once again look at what Tuchel has done at Chelsea taken a team in an even worse postion and making them UCL winners and EPL favourites. I can see Zidane staying at United for 3 years winning 1 EPL and 2 UCL's or something like that, you mentioned Ten Hang and as an Ajax fan I can tell you Zidane is a better manager.
@Shafin Khadem Isco was around Maguires level and reached world class in Zidanes first spell, Asienso is another player who Zidane took to the next level( unfurtunetly an injury has ruined him) Nacho and Luquez Vazquez both played at a much better level than whats expected of em uder Zidane( especialy his second stint) and he turned Feland Mandy into the best defensive full back in the world but most impresivly he turened a rotation player often sent on loans in casimiro into the best defensive midfielder in the world( alot of people would say kimich but hes more a deeplying playmaker). Last season Shaw was the best full back in the league and Maguire was one of the top 5 CB's and Zidane could get them to that level, he could also get the best out of others like AWB and Sancho.
id love to see donny in that kroos role at united. his ability to play short passes and quicken up the play and move while passing makes him the perfect player in that role.
It will be difficult to play the kroos role because he doesn't have the range of passing that Toni has.
but he can play his own way and make the spot his own, quick progressive passes into the final third with the team
Zidane doesn't get the credits he deserves, that's because of the false idea of a "style", what I mean is that people often link a coach to a single style, and consider him good if he sticks with it and excels at it, but Zidane is so versatile, he adapts to many styles and brings the best out of his players. As a Real Madrid fan I'd love to see him coaching Manchester United but I think he's waiting for a chance with the French national team.
Thanks statman dave 🙌🏻 Nobody really talks about the genius of zidane but you did ❤️
🤝🤝🤝
Zizou after watching this video thinking "Oh so this was my tactics" 😌
😉
I’m a Juventus fan and since 2001, since the day he left Juve, I dream a Zidane-Back. I dream Zidane getting back to Juve…it’s 20 years now…lol. Many times trough the years he has been linked to Juve with real negotiations like in 2019, but nothing has been concluded. I still “love” him (in a football way) he has been incredible at Juve
Where would Man Utd finish in the League with Statman Dave as manager?
Relegation. Cause tactics isn't the only thing a team needs from the manager.
League 2.
What if ole and stateman dave work together one is state and another in man mangement
Bottom
Probably fighting for relegation. Armchair fans really underestimate what it takes to be a Premier League manager.
Been waiting for this video Dave.
You are welcome

Thanks ❤💪
Best analysis of Zidane..
Thanks for the insight man.
Even Zidane could not explain his tactics like this😂
In English especially
Thank you. Statman reading too much into it after the fact. I would like Zidane to win 3 UCLs with Man United.
😊😊😊
He always knew just the right man for the job per match
So perfect for us!! 😭😍😍
He's the perfect fit for the United role.. young guns and talented academy prospects alongside star players to top it off! None else makes sense.
I would prefer ten Haag and Potter over Zidane
Well, of the board was good enough to appoint him
@@handerborte97 potter, really?
@@suyashshukla149 he made a lower table EPL team into the 15th best team in Europe in terms of XG points. He will be a top manager when he gets the chance to manage a better team.
@@hmst2434 i agree and i never said he is not a good coach but their is a hierarchy, a ladder a club like man utd "ideally" should be hiring a manaver who has a proven record with a few trophies😅
This video made me smile
Zidane took over a very well drilled team of amazing professionals. The RB and LB are not only great defensively, they excellent going forward, crosses, and ball skills. PLUS they run non stop. The CBs are world class and the CDM is an energetic Box 2 Box defender with great technical skills. Coupled with 2 amazing play makers who also know how to defend and press .. again .. non stop running. Only Bruno can get in to this team.
Bruno wouldnt get in thos team mate he isnt a orchestral type playmaker . First of all if bruno played in a system you wouldnt see this many goals from him he basically playing as second striker most times he only role he will be suited is 10 in 4231. He is good player but managers need to sort him out when he is playing he is too forward for united he leaves many gaps mate. He needs to learn positional play
@@animemoments8496 it's not about him learning positional play but moreso the fact we have a terrible midfield. bruno is the ONLY creative player on the pitch at times and is trying to make everything happen. Put Sancho on the right bring Donny in and tell Bruno to sit bit deeper and you would see a 10x more creative bruno
@@abz604 i havent seen that side of bruno yet he is a good player but he needs some strict guidance as well . He leaves a massive gap in midfield to go for attack and thats a problem no one is talking i know he is a good player gives assists and goals but at what cost but like you said if played with donny and players like him he would become better overall midfielder . His short passes in tight spaces arent good .
BIG Dave dem!💪🏾
I'm starting to think back 3 systems offer so much flexibility. Look at Chris Wilder's overlapping centre-backs. Look at Tuchel's back 3. Look at Atalanta strutt their stuff in infinite style. Look at Conte's back 3 at inter. The sky is the limit with these 3/5 at the back systems,your brain can literally run wild!
Doesn't work with numbskull players like Harry maguire. They don't have the mental capacity to operate multiple formations
I think it just depends on the tactics of a particular coach, look at liverpool, how well drilled they are and how they exploit the wings but still operate wit a back 4
@@jzilla1234 Maguire played well for England 3-4-3 what are you on about
@@pyrotgr3204 against?
@@jzilla1234 Germany, Ukraine, Italy, ect. You dont watch Euro or World Cup Qualifier? If you only watch club then you should know that everyone but Bruno play very well for their country. Fred recently was chosen by several website as MOTM against Argentina
The versatility of systems he's shown makes me think he'd be perfect at United. We don't have a real CDM right now but we have a midfield that struggles to function together, superstar wingers who are getting sacrificed for defense, and strikers being played out of position. Zidane could ensure that we are effective with either 2 up front or a 4-2-3-1 depending on the situation and get the best out of our players.
Zidane in Madrid he only uses two formation: 4-3-3 and 4-1-2-1-2
@@nohomo7430 he used 4-4-2 as well
Lol OGS lurking in the comments finding tactics for the next game.
Who's here after United's 4-1 loss at Watford?
Carvajal will always be underrated
👍
Could you do a Manchester United version of this
We request you to do a manchester united version of zizou
He can’t, he works for the club. This is an indirect way of doing it
@@NotMe-el3hg yes be can he’s done it before with other managers
United have no CDM/Destroyer which is a major problem implementing this system
@@RisingPhoenix619 we have destroyers in mcfred, (destroying our minds)
Zinedine Zidane's tactics is a pro I would like to see Zidane at Manchester United
Very good video. I think Ten Haag was my preference because he's a project manager. But Zizou definitely has that winners pedigree. At this point I don't even care anymore, we need someone better. Not Rogers though, that feels like a sideway step
I need your help mate. I smashed the like button like you said and my laptop is not working now.
O dear… 😂😂😂
Underrated comment 😂
DDG
Dalot Varane Lindelof Shaw
Bruno Matic VDB
Sancho CR7 Rashford
Go get him United!!!
Do video who should be next Man U manager
Since U post videos usually about PL, i am guessing u can predict the future
Whoever is our next manager, i hope he stops playing awb as rb because he is shit going forward. Also he doesn't mcfred ever again and sign a good centre back after getting rid of terrible maguire.
The best coach of all time for me
tbh there has been rumors that he wants to manage the french national team
Can you make a Brendan Rodgers manager profile/Tactics?
Zinedine Zidane is a champion as a player as well as manager
who else can win 3 ucls in a row other than this mastermind
But "zIDaNe hAs No TaCtiCs"
😂😂😅
Waiting for take over man united - zizou 🔥🔥🔥
0:24 - one of the greatest players of *ALL time
ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you could do one on ole we could appreciate it , if he does have tatics?😅
"Convince superstars to sacrifice for the team" sounds like something PSG need.
Zidane is an insanely talented manager.
He can make a great squad win things. Can he make a potential and still to built team win anything I’d the question. Ten Haag has done that
Zidane tactics explained, or as I like to call it, tell me why Zidane should manage United without mentioning United. Though the lack of a world-class 6 is the biggest sticking point in my opinion.
Now I can watch this when I know ole is gone 😍
Hey Dave, thanks for the premium content. Could you make a video on Ralf Ragnick? 😁
Brendan Rodgers: Tactics explained please.
As someone who does not like Man U. I would hate to see Zidane there, he's very similar to Fergie. His teams don't always play the best football but they can dig results out of nothing. I watch a lot of La liga and I can't tell you how many times I've seen Real play like shit or left it late and still manage to win. People even noticed that in the Champions league as well.
I feel like if he could get a world class CDM then he could get the best out of both Pogba and Bruno playing playmakers and with world class wingers with good finishing like rashford and sancho with Ronaldo the front man could be good. But with his attacking full backs, Maguire would get destroyed with his pace but it’ll be good to see what he could do with this United side if he becomes the next manager if ole goes. But time would tell.
That's it , he needs superstars and we don't have any now , Ronaldo is there for only one year , sancho , Greenwood need to develop further and that's ache I thing ten hag will be very good
Can someone please explain what was controversial with Modric winning the ballon D'or when he did....or I heard wrong?🤨🤷
How I wish I could go back to 1998
Maybe he can work a miracle at Norwich 😂🤣
Maybe…
The French Ole they said
Who's here after the Zidane news today?😂😂
One thing for sure if Zidane is coach of Man Utd man like McTominay and Bruno won’t start for him. They don’t keep the ball well enough. Donny would start all day every week. He likes ballers and man that can keep the ball.
Zidane stopped Real Madrid from signing donny van de beek 🤣🤣🤣
zizou will suit at manchester united right now.....it the right time to sack ole......if united dont sack ole then they will fail what they achieved in three years.....united is a team capable of winning all top trophies.....they have winners......what they really need is a winner manager like zizou
Pahaha clueless
Zizou to Man United 🙏
Mate can u do Ole’s tactics? Wait…..
Once zidane became manchester United Manager the first player he will sign is toni kross, cause he really believe in toni kross.
Ole ain’t leaving sadly.
Basically, this video tells you that he's perfect for Man Utd 🥺🙄
Zidane reminds me of Lux Luthor
😂😂😂
Kroos Casemiro Modric
The best trio of this generation
Zizou is a free manager ..why united not checking him out
Because he wants to work for France team. He rejected United offer
Only question does he plays academy players?
Might work with a bunch of world beaters but can he do it with this united squad? Hmm
Zidane to Juventus? 😮
Tactics Explained: Eric Ten Hag🙏🙏
We already have a how is… but we could do another one.
@@StatmanDave would really appreciate it my good sir
I used to call him a wizard or a dog of football because he was good
He can create more chances than any manager.....Ten hag .not going to come at united ..best is to go with Zizou
Perhaps the board should give Zidane the 10 pieces of wood and see if he can win us a champions league 😂
Zidane isn’t coming anywhere near United without a CDM in the squad
Part of that sounds like he relies in individual brilliance of "star men". What ole is criticized for and why I would worry about him at united. Man for man united have a much worse team. especially in midfield and full back.
Ole never rotated the player.He always play sh*tty Fred,average Scott on the midfield and greedy wood on the right wing
we all know how a typical guardiola goal looks like, or a klopp one, but how does zidane "typical" goal look like? ppl are screaming for pattern of play and an idea beside how they line up. How does he actually play his team. - what is zidanes way of playing football?
luis enrique for united ?
CHAMPHIONES LEAGUE HISTORY Zidane coach played best MAN UNITED SQUAD (CF)CAVANI,RASHFOOD, (RW),RONALDO,(LW)GARETH (CM),SANCHO,BRUNO F,MATIC,POGBA,. (FB),MARCELO,VAN DE BEEK. (CB),DE LIGT,VARANE,MEGUIRE,(GK)DE GEA,K NAVAS ❤️..
Zidane to united... Here we go???
I like Ole but Zizou would be ideal
Watching this video after it’s confirmed ole got sacked
United
alright zidane lets see how you manage Shaw , Maguire , Fred & Mctominay
"Controversial Ballon D'Or".. lol. You had to put that there, didn't you?
bro can't you just say his tactics were pass to ronaldo :/
Don't think Zidane is right for United, they need someone more modern and less player focused. Even Ole was player focused, in the EPL individual brilliance doesn't work. I am inclining towards Erik ten Hag or perhaps Ralf Rangnick are more suited, since most successful coaches in the EPL are currently German.
Asensio didn’t play at Real Madrid during the 15/16 season. I believe you have some lineups and tactics mixed up
Frequently off the bench. 👍
@@StatmanDave No, he actually played for Espanyol during that season. He first broke into Real Madrid’s squad during the 2016/2017 european supercup
I think Zidane would be the right person to manage MU so I could transform for the better to another level. I known this style was in the past but he still has chances to see it again because he's stayed for a long time and it would work for his experience for so long years.
So basically zidane is ole with a better man management
Zidane can not build a team like pep did . Zidane needs the best players in his team .I think he is good to. Be CEO of Real Madrid
Excuse me Pep is not that good at building teams either. Pep has all this money at his disposal but still not able to win ucl.
@@nkb5245 but look how they play football tiki taka without famous players. He was in final semi final He won with FC BAR
@@brahim7386 city doesnt have prodigies like Messi , yes. But the team are full of world class elite talent. Look at Kdb . Now they signed Haaland.
But managers like Klopp made a system so that even average players can shine. They dont have statement signings like United signing Sancho or City signing Haaland. Just look at Luis Diaz
@@brahim7386 2009, 2011 Barcelona were something else. Full of demigod level talents. Its impossible to loose as that team.
@@nkb5245 I do not like pep for some reason but is big manager . He did good in Barcelona and the same when he moved to Munich and 4 premier league in 5 years one final CL and more and also. He changed the way how we see football. Zizou by himself said pep is the best hhhhhh
Why are you storytelling his career like obituary?😂😭
Get him at the Old Toilet
zizou is unreal manager but i dont thinking he take the united jobs half way true the premier league because zizou want the france not the united people i would too.see zizou as man utd next coach he would time like but the france would be more intersted too him ya alright and i dont blame hin for that ya alright
We won't really know how good Zidane is until he manages elsewhere. He had a great side at Madrid, a lot of managers could have done similar at the time. When he manages elsewhere with a lesser squad is when we can really see if he is a great manager or if it was just that the Madrid squads were perfect for him
