I don't understand why people don't include him in the conversation as the greatest of all time. I know he wasn't an out and out goal scorer but for me he is in the GOAT conversation.

The fact Casameiro said when Zidane was coach, and he would train with the team, he was the best player out there says enough... legend

I’m 38 and loved football ever since I could open my eyes …. Still the best I’ve ever seen .. Zidane is still king 👑

Zizou? One of the greatest of all times. Effective and elegant. My favorite player ever.

His football style was not only genius and precise, it was always beautiful to watch. Its like a form of art. He really dances with the ball and is a faster thinker than any of the opponents. I could watch him play for hours and hours. Absolutely amazing!

It's more than elegance. Almost every single time his touch, technique or vision created an advantage or a chance for his team that no ordinary player could. He is my favorite player of all time along with R9 and Maradona.

Not only an absolute pillar of my all-time dream team, but also the most classical and elegant footballer ever and the purest definition of a maestro on the pitch. Unreal talent, divine technique, immeasurable intelligence, extraordinary ability to improvise and colossal decision-making power make Zidane a unique and incomparable player. Magician, genius!

The most complete player ever. He turned football into an art. He has done it all and won it all as a player, a coach and a family man. Bravo 👏

Out of all the greats, I have never seen a player so calm, not in a hurry but completely outclass with simple moves and out of this world ball control. This is still unique player in the history of the football.

I love these kinds of highlights without music and cheap effects. Also as a long time Zidane fan there are many scenes I've never seen. Thank you for this. This is beautiful.

Hay que vivir en directo las épocas de los jugadores para entender lo que fueron. Zidane fue un mago, sobre todo en sus ultimos años .

The way he glides past defenders is unique. He doesn't have the pace but his simple skills that are executed to perfection used to unbalance the defenders and than made it look easy even though he wasn't fast

The most underrated of the GOATs. This guy is a genius.

As a french guy, one of my best football memory (besides the two world cup victories) was the Brazil - France game in 2006. I've watched this game with my grandpa and we were just shocked at Zidane's skills during this game. Zidane will always be my favorite football player.

I was few years old when he was in his prime so I don't remeber his era. But when I look at the compilations like that one - wow. I wish I could watch him right now as he looks so unique. His movement - something completely different. He's been moving with such a grace so I cannot even describe it with any words. Pure elegance on the pitch!

The most complete player ever . Fluid went past players like a stream around a rock. He knew what opponents would do before they did the way he could move the ball between both feet and take it past 3 player within a square metre. Many players have better stats but none had Zidanes pure ability his first touch was second to none how ever he received the ball he would somehow have it under control and ready for next touch. Every other player on their best day still come second to zidane on his best day. Simply sublime football player.

Zizou will always be a legend in our hearts and our childhood hero. Watching France 🇫🇷 with Zidane was pure magic.

his control of the ball was one of a kind, he always looked like he knew what he was doing 🔥

Poetry in motion. He wasn’t a footballer, he was an artist 👩‍🎨 ❤ like Shakespeare, Michelangelo or Mozart 💖

An example of a player who fulfilled his potential. A guy that makes you fall in love with the game.

He had an elegance I've never seen before in a footballer. Amazing player.

fluid football poetry, Zidane was fearless, an artist on the pitch. his tactical awareness IMO is almost unmatched. he knew how to put the players off balance, create space, either run into it or draw the opposition to create that space for team mates. They dont make em like that anymore. Zidane and Gerrard are my two favourite midfielders.

Et oui zizou !!! Quel régale même après tant d'années de le regarder jouer !

Zidane's game was so elegant that it felt like time slowed down for him when he got even close to the ball. And then every move and every touch was calculated and executed with precision.

He does things that constantly make you go “wtf” and “how”. Absolute wizard and maestro.

The crown jewel when it came down to ball control. Zizou had a wicked first touch, could easily shift in any direction, precise passing, and his IQ on the pitch was immaculate

He made playing football look effortless. He had sublime skill

Zizou is the epitome of a number 10, favourite player of all time

Zizu and Ronaldinho are the definition of football at its finest form.Magicians with class both in and out of the pitch.

The very first clip is a work of art. The way he picked the ball from the air to set himself up for the beautiful finish, at the same time sending the defender out of the screen.. Poetry in motion

My favourite player of all time ! Long live the GOAT , king Zizou

What a work of art. The real Van Gogh of football, alongside Ronaldinho. I could spend hours and hours watching this in slow motion!

His Flow is undeniable unique. He really flies over his Opponents like a Butterfly

One of my favorite players of all time.

A true definition of class midfielder he's football touch and control is crazy so unselfish with insane finishing skills also eagle eye view one of the best midfield maestro for me...viera and zidane on midfield imagine❤❤

He was the ultimate midfield playmaker maestro. He would "unravel" a very complicated position and release the ball to a team mate in a good position even when you thought it was unlikely. Magnificent player.

Watching him was like listening to Mozart for hours, or standing in front of Rodin's sculptures. What an artist!

I have never seen a so beautiful game! Proud of our Zidane ❤️

Acomodaste los clips del video , esta bueno 👏 grande Zidane

He danced with the ball ; has crystal clear tactical view and played for his team to win, never hogging for personal glory. A true class act.

He was a wizard with the ball, and probably still got it. For me the best player ever.

生でジダンを3回ほど観たが、エレガント至上最高選手だ。宇宙人クラスだよ。

Notre ZIZOU NATIONAL merci encore et toujours pour ton état d'esprit ta générosité ton amour et surtout cette humilité.

it's not just the perfect execution that impresses, it's just the winning idea of ​​doing certain things that makes you understand that Zinedune Zidane was just from another planet.

Zizou had such a unique way of manipulating the tempo of play as though the ball was elastic at his feet. He wasn't the fastest, but he would stride with this peculiar air of confidence and elegance. He was a natural leader and playmaker, so when he had the ball you just felt at ease. He was the calm *within* the storm. Very few players in all of football history, let alone the current era, make me feel that way. He was truly special.

Wow he does things I haven't seen other greats do. Imagine if there were two players on the same team with similar Zidane skills. They'd be able to tear through defenses.

"The most important thing is to have control of the ball" - Zinedine Zidane

He was so damn good at giving himself acres of space with a single touch of the ball whenever he was marked in a tight space. So creative and always one step ahead. I miss watching him play

Loved the way he controlled the ball with pure smooth feet..his generation was full with great talents.. zidane,figo,ronaldo,ronaldinho n more..

He makes the beautiful game joyous to watch, Ballerina that's Zidane in one word

He's sort of Ballet, the grace, strength, mixed with future thinking, like a wizard. Such a big dude to be so graceful.

The way he controlled games with his touch is unreal. Zidane never did anything unnecessary with the ball. Every touch was measured and executed with efficiency. He was a true midfield commander

Zidane was the complete footballer, dribbling, passing, heading, and one of the best free kick takers ever. He didn't hang around the box like a lot of today's players. I've seen a lot of very good players , but for me Zidane had everything.

I've seen him play twice at the Bernabeu, just astonishing. One of the greatest players of all time. Was a privilege to see him play live, will never forget it.

Zidane qui pouvait faire mal à n'importe qui. Cette conduite de balle et placée les dribbles quant il fallait. Ça a lui était prédestiné et lui appartiendra pour toujours. #LaLégendeZizou👑

I watched all of Zizou's matches with Juve and was happy when he moved to Madrid. He is the legend of football and my favorite player. How beautiful are your days, Zizou

Watching this guy playing put tears in my eyes. Pure Beauty. Zidane was an Artist!

Just because the kids nowadays didn’t see him think many of the past greats had no value. Thanks for putting this together.

Zidane is the greatest and complete player of all time. His ball control is incredible ❤

You can tell by the way Zidane moved he could easy take care of himself🤭🔥 For me the best player ever, J'adore💙🔥🇫🇷🔥🇫🇷

Elegance, panache, deadly efficiency, accurate passes, one-touch lay-offs, nasty free kicks, super headers, you name it, Zizou had it in his bag of tricks. One of the best to ever grace the game!

It was amazing how he could glide past players without using any speed his ball control was unrivalled

Oh man!! What a fantastic player he was…

He is on the rooftop. We can think and explain that someone is better, it is the liberate appreciation of anyone but all we can say is that nobody is more elegant in the dribble, nobody! Beauty of football!

As a Brazilian I can say that we had our share of artists with the ball, but none could match the elegance and grace of Zissou.

An absolute wizard. His technical prowess and class weren't just for show, his talents had an impact in any game he played and his trophy collection proves it.

The Mozart of Football world. He was art in making.

Maradona and ronaldo de silva and zidane you have to wait for a long time for such legends to be born again

Football experts said, zinedin Zidane is the most complete player in history of football. I agree with them. The guy has everything that is needed in football. I don't see any weaknesses. Wooow!

This is ridiculous, how can anyone be this good? Imagine being blessed with this talent.

Esas habilidades se adquieren desde muy joven, solo al ver la elegancia y el “poco” esfuerzo que muestra en los movimientos entiendes que eso lo aprendió en el patio de su casa jugando con sus primos y amigos, si eso era como profesional no me quiero ni imaginar los recitales que daba en el patio de la escuela, un grande zidane ❤👏👏👏

Nothing he can’t do literally. Dribbling, assisting, scoring, using both feet, heading the ball and free kick master! This is really what is called a COMPLETE PLAYER.

when this guy retired i cried his play was so smooth skilled & beautiful. when this guy touched the ball the time stopped. i ll feel the same when messi will retire. 2 different styles of legend but two humble football gods ! zidane forever in our heart

I watched him lead France to WC trophy in 1998, got injured in 2002 and France was knocked out on group stage, came back in 2006 and led France to WC final. He's a true legend.

Este prototipo de jugadores que te hipnotizan cuando los ves y que dejan a sus rivales en el suelo por pura agilidad y no solo fuerza....ya casi no se ven así

The Great Zizou! Gracias🙏🏼❤️

Best ever in my book. Complete player, leader, ambassador. Never tense in his action.

I am guilty of it myself, but people forget how great Zidane was. This reminded me. What a player.

One of the best of all time ❤

People who only start wastching football in Cr-Messi Era have absolutely no idea how GREAT Zidane was. Truly Genius, Pure Baller. For me top 3 GOATS, Messi, Zizou and R9. Aside Pele, CR7. Cruyff and G Best as well. But Zidane was really different.. Most beautiful, Most intelligent and the most important is he is always show up the highest level of the football game. His Leadership. The Great General with most beautiful and pure feet and brain. Truly the GOAT.

This video made me so happy for some reason. So much of nostalgia coming through. There hasn’t been players like this. Such elegance, and confidence, so much that watching him as rival fan will make you stand up and clap for him even when watching from your home.

I was 8 years old. I started watching football at the World Cup 2006. I remembered when he was scoring the penalty against Buffon in the final. I was scared because of the ball which was touching the bar. My parents said he is a magician. Since that day I was in love with him. Such a shame he ended his career after that game. He could definitely continue his career until he was getting 40 years old. I have never seen such a player like him. And I seriously watched one game of him in my lifetime. Nobody can not compare to him. It's crazy but it's the truth. And until December 2021 I have seen many great players and also good playmakers but nobody was like him. After seeing so many documentaries, highlight videos and expert meanings I know why.

No showboating, someone who appreciated his gift and did wonders.

Le rouge en bas et du bleu en haut forment une symbolique plaisante. 3 buts contre le néant en finale. Un beau message du Ciel!

Never does anything unnecessary with the ball, amazing player. One of the best ever.

He had such a magical touch on the ball. Brilliant ball control. It seems so effortless

I’m here from his interview with Messi, no wonder Leo has so much admiration for him, magician!

Il a fait du foot, un art. Zidane n’était pas seulement un distributeur, un organisateur, un buteur, mais il donnait plaisir voir jouer: Élégant, souple, fin, tactique. C’est le plus grand maître dans ce domaine...

I started watching football because of him. Messi’s control comes from his frequent touches, but Zidane with his long legs don’t have high frequency, yet he controls the ball like there’s magic. Every touch is so purposeful and intelligent. Just amazing

Zidane was just 15 steps ahead of anyone else on the pitch. Absolute genius.

beauty of soccer

Such a finesse and elegance to his stride and first touch. Barely ever the loses the ball, knows when to offload, and when to retain. Master of finding the space and the tight gaps. In my humble opinion, he is one of the best midfielders the game has ever seen. In the period of the noughties, from late nighties, there were few that surpassed his brilliance and talent. Zizou

I've always said he could have played with a suit and tie. Elegance is the word to describe him

This video brings me back. I remember my cousin and I in our early teens practicing Zidane's moves to exhaustion. This was before youtube, so we had heated debates on "the way he did it" haha I'm Brazilian, but Zidane was _the_ most important reference I have to the way I play football to this day.

zidane représente mon enfance il a été un maestro pour moi comme pour beaucoup aimant le football et le beau jeux amateur de tous ces tours il m'aura fais le temps d'un match rêver dans n'importe quelle club ou avec la france ou il a joué il a été comme un idole ce frère qu'on regarde avec fascination et admiration devant ce magicien qu'il était merci beaucoup zidane pour ces moments de joies et de tristesse aussi que peu procurer un match de football

I was a keeper and a defender growing up playing the beautiful game and this man was my idol pure class and a privilege to watch I miss watching players like him Ronaldo,Bergkamp,Nedved,Pirlo,Del Piero,Ronaldihno,Beckham,Scholes,Gerrard,Henry,Davids,Totti and Figo my generation was truly blessed with amazing futbol. 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The title of this video is exactly what I have told everyone when we talked about the best players. Zidane had an elegance about him that I haven’t seen since. He was cold blooded in every touch.

They don't make midfielders like him anymore! I miss watching him play 🔥

Amazing player ,great to watch and control of ball was brilliant. Made it look so easy

Футболист с самой элегантной техникой. Гений, художник от футбола
