Video – Enjoy Zidane's elegant one-touch football -Juvefc.com


Greatest midfielder of all time in my book.

Yes, I know people will mention Ronaldinho, Maradona, Baggio and Platini, but they were more classic 10s/supporting strikers than actual mids.
How he played is quite irrelevant but yeah he was amazing. What amazed me more than his skills is how he made everyone better around him.
He had it at Juve and then the impact he made at Real.
When you ask Zidane he`ll say Ronaldo is a bigger player but to me Zidane was better.

If we would not sign vlahovic, we would not see champions league this year. It would be better if we didnt, But the fact is, if vlaho would sign for any other club, he would have had already 30-50goals.
Tough to say as every club has its style but yeah he should be much better when he gets service.

Best player of all time. Sue me.
With Bordeaux: Intertoto Cup (3rd strongest UEFA competition)
With Juventus: 2 Serie A titles, 1 Intertoto Cup
With RM: 1 CL, 1 La Liga title

He surely won precious little in his club career (not counting all the supercups and other crap) for a supposed best player of all time.

In comparison our own Del Piero lead Juve to a lot more success

but who was 2 world cup finals and 1 european cup final?

i do agree he is not best of all time. ronaldo, messi, xavi, iniesta, robben, salah, ronaldinho, plus a lot of others were better

And have you seen his stats? Poor man's Delle Alli
Fuck off :howler: :D :b81:

He was in Paul Lambert's pocket in the CL final vs Dortmund though
Zip it doofus.

In the 1998 CL final against Real Madrid he was mostly invisible as well if I'm right.

That said, still one of the greatest midfielders of all time. After the 1998 World Cup he really became another player in terms of leadership and being a big game player.
Juventus brings out the pussy in you in CL finals - it's the history of the Juventus man :sigh:

I can understand Ronaldo and Messi and I`ll even give you Ronaldinho but Robben? Iniesta? Salah? Xavi? What the hell are you talking about. Those four are amazing players but its an insult to even mention them along Zidane.

:rofl: :howler: Sure sure. The two stat padding faggots I can't argue with. They have the numbers at club level, even though @ international level they have accomplished diidly squat, especially the little tax evading garden gnome midget. Rodildo hasn't exactly been stellar for Portugal either - no, scoring 50 goals against The Faroe Islands, Malta, Zanzibar, Gibraltar, and Comoros does not make one a GOAT.

Salah? He's been decidedly mediocre for Egypt his entire career.

Ronaldinho? Wonderful player on his day, but as a Lolzilian his peak was short lived.

Robben? Come on man. He was a great player, but he only had that one move - granted, you couldn't really stop him.

Xavi and Iniesta were great, but they benefited from a great system, both at Barca and Spain, and an OP Spanish team at the time. Definitely up there with the best mids though.

Also, why are you comparing Zidane to Rodildo, Missy, and, aside from Xavi and Iniesta, a bunch of other attackers?

Stop trolling and go put some air in those tyres pronto Ya Manyak :D :b81:

If they're amazing players why is it then insulting to mention them along with Zidane? Isn't that contradicting?
