What its taken me a long time to understand about him is where his style and ability came from.... He wasn't actually that gifted as a kid but decided he wanted to be a pro footballer and was good enough to get involved, Then he lived a very clean life and dedicated himself to become a pro and the best he found be, so he always tried to improve. He wasn't a child prodigy with loads of skill and no ethic like most Brazilians, quite the opposite. In addition, he was huge. You see him in videos and he looks skilful, elegant and quick... but he was actually 6'2" , broad shouldered and with strong thighs. You can't get the ball off him, which allows his slightly lazy, confident style to develop and his amazing touch and feet can just be improved on over the years. Ryan Giggs - " He was massive, I was looking up at him in the tunnel wondering where the small skilful play maker ( I'd seen on TV) had gone.... and you couldn't get the ball off him, none of us could"
He wasn't athletically gifted but he was a technical monster even as young as 17-18 and he played the exact same then as he played later. Get some footage of his matches for Cannes 1989. Discipline takes you far but you cannot learn to control the ball as Zidane without being blessed with that type of touch and coordination.
@@ronniep9272 6’2 and strong. I’ve played football and when you have a guy that size playing centre mid, who is skilful you can’t get the balm off them .
A lot of people say that zidane was slow, but this video shows how fast he is. Great acceleration, not to be be confused with pace(quickness or explosive speed).
Zidane was far from slow. He was so good it seemed like everything was going in slow motion. As utilised his skills to slow down the opposition before bursting past them.
Nice video, huge player, very inspiring. I often watch Zidane's videos before to play with my club. It's like, there's always something to learn when you see him play
First time I saw him play was against Bayern München. He was already on his way to Juve. Seeing him play I knew like everybody else that he would be the next big player. He was brilliant
en 1996 la derniere annee de zidane a bordeaux on est en finale de la coupe uefa mais ce que personne ne dit c k Bordeaux finit 16eme du championnat de France ! limite relegable ... bref une annee tres bizzare psk en championnat on etait a la ramasse

Et bah à mon avis, il n'y a que des bordelais qui doivent tomber sur cette vidéo 😅🤣...ça fait plaisir de voir des images de Zidane avec le maillot bordelais, je ne savais pas qu'il y en avait autant. À ce sujet, ça me frustre beaucoup de voir que l'immense majorité des vidéos de Zidane à Bordeaux soit lors de la seule année où le scapulaire n'était pas présent sur le maillot sur ces 35 dernières années. Il n'y aurait pas eu la finale de coupe d'Europe, j'aurais même dit que ce maillot était maudis vu le jeu dégueulasse proposé en 95-96 malgré notre côté gauche international.
