Doesn’t mean you can’t be an excellent dribbler if you’re a bit on the taller side, there’s just a specific type of dribbling that most shorter players have thanks to their lower centre of gravity. They will generally have the agility and balance to turn direction quicker than a taller player and are hard to knock off the ball. If you’re tall it doesn’t matter too much how strong you are, if you’re off balance at any point you’re a lot more likely to get knocked completely off balance in comparison to small players

I share the exact same thoughts. Modern defenders and midfielders are far more athletic and technical, but not allowed to rough up the opposition. The positions are barely even comparable nowadays. Zidane was taking bumps and riding off them with the ball. Modern players hit the floor cos they know the ref will blow the whistle. I always say a ronaldo or messi may not have been that great if they played in the 70s, 80s and even 90s because who knows how they would react to those defenders. As a one off i imagine they just continue playing their game, but if its every week and the refs aren't handing out cards for minimal offences then i see their playstyles change or they have a lot of injuries and a shorter career. Zidane would take a bump and was still had complete control.

Zidane was truly one of a kind.

I still think zidane controlled the game better than messi

People forget that putting aside both his incredible finesse and technique with the ball as well as his amazing ability to control games, Zidane was physically tough and slightly hot-headed as well. He got sent off many times including the most infamous one during the 2006 World Cup final. When Roy Keane said he is an angel next to someone like Zizou, you know the latter was truly something.

One thing about Zidane people do not know is during his early days he was 5x as scary as Roy Keane and getting red cards for his outbursts when he was at Bordeaux and Juve.

Genuine world class footballers have something unique about them,Maradona, Messi with their ball stuck to their wand of a left foot and with Zidane the way he even kicked a ball seemed way different to most and then it was the way he glided by people, a true football genius

I reckon I wouldn’t mind getting stuck in an elevator with Roy in it. It seems that I just can’t ever get enough of listening to him talk and the way he tells stories. Its captivating lol

Zidane had all the time in the world on the pitch. He made fundamentals look like works of art. Never seen a midfielder who impressed me more.
