This is something i have been discussing for years with my pals and people around me who watch football..... and i think this is the best moment to discuss it with you. Being myself a devoted Zidane fan (for the single reason that i started to follow Juve because of him), i would like to hear opinions of people that is not as biased as me.
But even when i have blind faith in his abilities, im a very objective person so i wanna know if my objectivity is failing me now
umpkin:
Guys from espn were discussing about this some days ago, and they agreed that he deserves to be above the best 10, but no one went that far to touch the holyness of pele and diego.
In my sincere opinion, it hink that Zidane have a curriculum more than acceptable to share the throne with the other football gods.
-The world cup:I think this is a prerequisite to be here, and not just the cup itself but how the player took part in it.
Zidane guided France to the cup with all his magic, he was maybe in the form of his life and he sealed the victory in the final game. To be the hero of a world cup final is something that not everyone can do, and not in the way he stepped there and got it.
-The Euro 2000: Not content with the WC, Zidane and his pals got the Euro too. I know that this france team was pure gold, full of champions but i think that every good player needs good teamates to get things like this
-The CL: One of the reasons of his Juve separation was because he was looking for this elusive trophy. In real madrid...... with an exllating form through the whole tournament....... he stepped on the final game and with a marvelous volley he sealed the victory and got the cup.
-The Scudetto and "La Liga"
-3 european supercups
-2 Intercontinental cup
and not to mention his CL runners up with juventus , the fifa world player of the year and ballon d or awards.
But lets not just only talk about his curriculum.... because there are a some players around that have won everything too, and are not as good as him.
Lets look at his qualities as a player:
Zidane is a player that is different from the others because of the simplicity of his moves and the effectiveness of them. He does really difficult task with such class, that sometimes makes people wonder if he is playing seroiusly or is in a street game.
Definitely his best is how he mamages to find his partners in the field, his visual of the game and how he predicts the other´s movements is outstading.
IN the Dribbling section he is not the most fashioned of the players (a la dinho) but he is definitely skilled and he really knows how to take on enemies and leave them eating the grass. In his golden years in Juve and the early madrid era....he even had some really good pace and did incredible runs out of nothing to create havoc.
Like every good player, Zidane have a gifted shoot, and this is proved in his passes specially, they almost always (no one is perfect) find its destiny.
His ball control skills are one of the best seeing. The way he receive the ball and controls it is phenomenal. Everyone that have looked closely at his career can back me on this.
And the last but not least, a quality definitely required to be a hero, is to be there in the moments the team needs you, and Zidane have been protagonist in the most crucial games of his live.
If Pele had his accuracy and Maradona had his explosive game , i can add that Zidane have his own elegant way to play football, and being effective at the same time.
There have been real champions around the world........ but i really think that Zizou is a player out of this world, not for his curriculum itself but because he is simply above the rest!.
Opinions please.
