One of the best coaches in football history (Sir Alex Ferguson) once said „Give me Zidane and 10 pieces of wood and I'll win you the Champions League“. That’s how good Zidane was.

Zinedine Zidane singlehanded destroyed one of the best national teams of history on the 2006 World Cup against players like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Robinho, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, all of those are legends but they couldn’t resist the magic of Zizu

Your expression is wrong, my friend. There is only one Ronaldo, the Brazilian Ronaldo. From your comment, I understand that you do not understand football if you put the one who scores more goals is the best player.

Zidane is the most elegant footballer ever! When you understand the sport better and know how hard some of things he did are you will appreciate him even more, for example his first touch is legendary

Exactly, you will fall in love with Zidane once you watch the sport for a long time. The neutral won't understand the sorcery he is seeing

Extremely talented football player. Never lost the ball, his passes always connected and he scored the big goals. Highlights won't tell you the whole tale. He was the kind of a guy that had a real presence, confidence and played football with such elegant ease. Capable of doing anything, anywhere, anytime on the pitch. Difficult to explain the type of a player he was. I never rooted for France or Real Madrid but no one could deny his greatness. He really wasn't just good. He's one of the greats.

He was my favourite player and I'm not French, nor did he ever play for my team. He was just beautiful to watch.

Loved your reaction. Zidane is a player who's hard to truly appreciate when you're not really into football or never played the game. What most KZread compilations don't tell or show is the way he controlled the midfield (the most important part of the game), his defense splitting passes and how he dictated the game. An attacking midfielder is the most exposed position, as you get threats from everywhere and very fast. That's the place where you easily lose the ball, yet when on form he was nearly untouchable. His first touch, ball control and game vision allowed him to toy with opponents, despite him not being the fastest or the flashiest, and make every move of his look so easy. Most of all, it's his ability to deliver in BIG games which allowed him to win everything that there is to win in football at a club and national level, and that's why he's up there with the greatest of the game.

It's cool to see NBA players do cross dribbling between their legs or around their hips. But Zidane did those with his feet

Literally the only footballer who can write poetry in motion on a field

Love them all....

Zizou, as he was called by the French, is just a great player and guy. A true legend here in Europe. We watched him freak out in the World Cup final against Italy and really felt sorry for him and the whole team...

Special reaction to a special player. Zizou was my guy growing up. What you guys don't see in this video is his incredible IQ and ability to control and dictate the pace of the game. He could slow down the game at will and trigger a move or a decisive pass at any moment. Middle of the ground, which is the hardest place to play in was his playground. You can take anyone you ve seen or you will see, in his play making and controlling of the game flow he is second to none. It so happens that his dribbling and touch is simply top level. He would resonate with the likes of Magic, Michael and LeBron combined, for your basket analogy. He was a master of the beautiful game.

First like&comment

Not a goal scorer like Messi or CR7 but one of the greatest playmakers and all round players to ever do it, He a straight up legend, in the GOAT conversation for sure, pure class on the ball, Only used flair when it was the right move to make,never to show off

The Midfielder is like the Point-Guard, Quarterback, Maestro, and Architect of the team. He controls the tempo of the attack, distributes the ball and "drops dimes" for your favorite player on the team

Zidane is Michael Jordan , could do everything on the pitch , and he won. There are stories to his goals , so many of them came in clutch moments. 2 goals in a world cup final that they won. A beautiful volley in the champions league final. He is the goat.

Zidane gave off this artistic vibe every time he touched and kicked the ball. Definitely one of the most elegant midfielders to ever play the beautiful game! The roulette skill move is also sometimes called the "Marseilles Turn", which is named after Zizou's hometown of Marseilles!

This guy is the reason why I developed love for this game , I remember being 6y/o when I saw him for the first time , he is the reason why I am a Real Madrid fan. He became a coach later on , and gave us three champions leagues in a row .

france 98 when he single handedly took the world cup as an underdog was when i respected Zizu. a goat for real. he was majic

The ball was in love with Zizou. Once he touched it, it never wanted to leave his side. It looked as it was tied to his feet by a thread.

Do an R9 ronaldo reaction. He could have been the best player of all time before he suffered from injuries. But he still came back from a torn ACL and had one of the best seasons he ever had that year. Just an unbelievable player

Zidane aka the ballerina aka the master of controlling the ball the Best contrôle of football history

To me He's has the best ball control in football history after him I would give it to Marcelo the Brazilian

You need to both see Ronaldo, NOT Cristiano (CR7), the original Ronaldo (Brazillian guy) R9, He played for Real Madrid and Barcelona and was probably the best complete Striker to ever player the game. I would take a prime R9 Ronaldo, over a prime CR7 Ronaldo, no doubts (CR7 did it for longer, but R9 age 18-24 was terrifying,just frightening) Frame like a boxer, strength like Ramos, speed like Mbappe, dribbling and skills like Ronaldinho, and shooting like a cannon, with sniper accuracy, a guy that build should not be able to sprint that fast AND change direction that fast, whilst dribbling, to put it in perspective, a young R9 is the most potent attacking force I have ever seen if we are talking peak, his only possible rivals for me would be Ronaldinho at peak of the career, ...and they played on the same team for Brazil

His presence on the field was something else. He was smooth, had subline first touches and just never lost the ball... He was a calming presence for his team in world cup matches, especially the finals... This guy just took his time, handled the ball cool as a cucumber and just never failed; Often dismantling whole teams (like Brazil) by dominating the midfield. Highlight videos only show part of what made him special. Seeing him play made you think: "Now that is a master at work..."

He's the most elegant player I've ever seen and probably the BEST first touch!

I was wondering when y'all were gonna get to Zizou (his nickname amongst French football fans). The guy was a wizard. His step-over was lethal. Some people believe that his infamous head-butt red card was a black mark on his legacy. Given the way the recipient of the head-butt was running his mouth, dude was lucky that ZZ wasn't waiting for him in the parking lot. It wouldn't have gone well.

The most elegant player in history of football. And also one of the greatest coaches of all time.

Cool to re watch these legends with you guys. Zidane inspired me and my friends in my hood growing up here in Portugal. We still try to imitate that first goal You saw where The ball comes high and he just strikes it in the place. We see a high cross and we yell “Zidane!” , and then we try to kick it like him, we miss everytime haha. That spin move was his trademark, i use it every game i play, like you said, with The correct timing, that move is CRUCIAL, always a highlight and cool to Watch. Check out David Beckham next, also a great inspiration Back then. Everytime we try a Long Long shot or pass, You gotta scream “Beckham”! The dude was a sniper. ✌️

When I was way way younger I noticed a newspaper in my dad's room one morning when I went to see play in his room like I always do. On the front of the newspaper was the name ZIZOU with the big picture of zidane...he was the front of the newspaper...I was like 'dad who's that?'....my dad looked at it and laughed out loud and said ''thags general Zizi''....from that day I was wow for this man...amazing player with the sauce and flare to do anything

Zizou is elegance with the ball.

Literaly the most elegant player i've ever seen. SMOOTH might as well be his middle name.

Zinedine Zidane is one of the greatest football players of all time, top five for sure, He literally won all individual and team awards that you can imagine. and he has always been the best player on his team even tho he played with a lot of legends and great players! like Ronaldo and Terry Henry. His impact on the game really can't be highlighted in 10 minutes video

some of his goals were in the most important champions league matches (where other player don`t make it and when some of them does they need balls of steel to do what he did , also vs world class players) . The most Elegant midfieder Zinedine Zidane aka ZIZOU. I can write till tomorrow about him.

The more you understand football, the more you'll appreciate what footballers in MF contribute. Zidane was the puppet master pulling all the strings. Your brother really appreciated those passes. They are incredibly hard

You guys need to do a video about Ronaldo 9 the Brazilian ( the phenomena ) trust me until you guys see that man you haven't seen a player. Btw he played for both Barca and Madrid but nobody hated him for it

Messi said in an interview that he would give out his shirt at the end of games if another player asked, but he himself only asked for a shirt once in his entire career, he asked Zidane's shirt.

1:14 The fact that he got so close to his nickname, Zizou is wild

This dude single handedly destroyed Brazil in the World Cup and I mean a very good Brazil consisting of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo R9, kaka, Roberto Carlos. You should do a reaction to Roberto Carlos

Can you react to Kevin de Bruyne when football becomes art!

zizou was maybe the greatest maestro in the history of the game. The only ones who come close last decade are maybe xavi and modric

Zine Eddine Zidane aka Zizou National team France 🇨🇵 origins Algeria 🇩🇿 singature move "La Roulette" The player who added elegance to football ⚽ The very first goal you watched was against Bayern Liverkusen in UCL FINAL 2002 and is the best in history of the game

he was the Real Madrid coach being the first coach to win the most important club competition 3 times in a row. How can you say he was a Barca coach. Impossible

Zidane is the best french player of all time and he is one of the best midefielder in football of all time , he win all the trophies ( world cup , europa nations cup , champions leaugue , italian leaugue , spanish league ) And he win ballon d'or more times

Remember watching the '98 world cup final as a 6yr old. Zidane and France won R9's Brazil 3-0. He was the motm/mvp, scoring twice and dominating the midfield.

Zinedine Zidane has the greatest first touched that I have ever seen on a football pitch period.

He is simply one of the greatest midfielders to ever wear a pair of football boots: Won everything there was to win as a player at club and international level, and has now won everything there is to win at club level as a manager. was 1.88m tall (6 2"), which is normally considered tall for an attacking midfielder and was as elegant a midfielder as I have ever watched play. But do not be fooled by his calm and placid appearance, this man had a nasty temper and if you crossed him on the pitch he was most definitely going to do you... In football its rare to see a guy become world class both as a player and as a manager and Zizou is one of those. One of the GOATs for sure!

Legendary Zidane, he has two ballondOr

Zidane was the player on the field where you think you have him and a millisecond later he's past you. He knew what he was going to do with the ball before received it, this alone is essential for any player but Zidane was master class. Was 4 steps ahead of everyone even though she was slower than most players. My fav midfielder of all time, close second is Francesco Totti. There are many great midfielders but those 2 are my fav to watch, just pure creators.

We got the brave players because its in our blood, Madrid only got the greatest

Appreciate you guys doing Zidane, I was one of a few who suggested him. We've done some Barca legends, some Real Madrid legends. About time you checked out the most in form player this season: Mohamed Salah.

"GIVE ME ZIDANE AND 10 PIECES OF WOOD AND I'LL WIN YOU THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE" ~ Sir Alex Ferguson

Zidane was coach for madrid from 2016-2018, left for a few months, returned for 2019-2021, won 11 cups in total for madrid including 3 back to back to back champions league trophies from 16-18 which is the most impressive cup to win in club football as its against all the best teams in the world from all leagues (you should watch the champions league football games, theres 1 group match left then it will be knockout stages.) zidane is currently out of management and wanting to manage the french national team if the opportunity arises.

Underrated Zidane. He led France to not one, but two world cups and some European championships too. The quality of the supporting players was better in France, but he was definitely the best player on the team, and the leader of the team. For a while he had Thierry Henry as a teammate. He is better than Mbappe. You guys should really check him out. For a while he was a teammate of Messi in Barcelona.

Cool reaction from you guys. Just wanna give it out tip, another great player Ronaldo phenomenon. Some believe best player ever .if you guys want to react that will be awesome 👌.

This was one of the players I modeled my own game on (originally Hagi, and John Barnes, and later Gerrard, Zidane and Ronaldinho)

you gotta also know that he wasn't an attaker, he would play as center-mid, which would be the guy to take the ball from the defense to the attack, that's why he would be called the "maestro" of the team
