one of the greats but he is still over-rated by people...especially when their are players who have been better examples and footballers than him over history...players like maldini, beckenbauer and muller among others...

someone who can lose his head in such a high ranking game as a WC final doesnt deserve to be mentioned with some of the class act footballers out there...if he can be called the greatest of all time then players like pirlo, xavi, ronaldinho, puyol and (brazil)ronaldo deserve alot more praise.

How about if instead of dismissing his whole post you guys discuss each argument he makes? Rolling Eyes

Like many others have said it is clear that you rarely if ever watched Zidane play. He is one of the greatest players I have ever seen, probably second just behind Ronaldo de Lima.

I didn't even bother to read what you wrote. Just the tittle was enough to prove me that you don't know what you are talking about

2 goals in a WORLD CUP FINAL, and one of the most beautiful goals ever scored in the champions league, and in the final nonetheless doesn't deserve to make him one of the greatest? He's head and shoulders above most of the rest.

You can say "i think Zidane is not better than Maradona or Pele or Cruyf", its debatable. but you can't say he was "not that great". because he was.

Like i said i've been watching football since 1998 and i've seen zidane play many times.

Also i think xavi and iniesta are great players and rate them higher than zidane. and no im not some crazy barca fan and madrid hater.

But according to you, Zidane is not that great because his stats aren't that good. Then obviously Fabregas>>>>>>Xavi, right? Zidane was not that great  - Page 2 2859867778

Whilst I'll agree with the concept that Zidane's hype can be a bit over bearing at times, most of your posts goes against all I saw with the great man. It's your opinion but I really believe you have a general poor perception of what was Zidane.

no it's not all about statistics. i've seen xavi, iniesta and fabregas play and have seen the influence they have on the team. i've also seen zidane play and the seen the influence he has on a team. xavi and ineista have a greater influence and are 3 time champions league winners. they are also part of a team that is seriously looked at as the greatest of all time.

xavi beats fabregas because he's more experienced , a better leader and has better technique. fabregas is a better goal scorer and is faster. if there is anybody that is going to be better than xavi, it is fabregas. not exactly a ridiculous comparison.

anyway xavi beats fabregas in statistics aswell. distance covered in a match, more passes completed in matches and better passing percentage.

Laudrup was better than Zidane, and hardly anybody even talks about him.

Haven't mustered up the courage to read through his entire posts but from what I read it seems pretty clear that this guy is either a troll or just isn't worth responding to because he has no clue what the hell he's talking about.

In any case, it isn't worth a response.

fixed .

Lemme guess , couple of barca fans who think's zidane's not that great ? I agree he may have been over-hyped , particularly after his retirement , but the man is that great a footballer . And also , when someone comes back from retirement , leads his country to the WC , was instrumental in two against the odd victories , completely outshone Ronaldinho in the big clash , led his country to the final , he's supposed be hyped up .


Random quotes on Zidane from the who's who of football


Carlos Alberto Parreira labelled Zidane "a monster" for his performance and playing skills.

Michel Platini - "Technically, I think he is the king of what's fundamental in the game – control and passing. I don't think anyone can match him when it comes to controlling or receiving the ball."

Franz Beckenbauer -"Zidane is one of the greatest players in history, a truly magnificent player."

Pelé, - "Zidane was the magician in the game."

Marcello Lippi -"I think Zidane is the greatest talent we've known in football these last 20 years, yet he never played the prima donna. I am honoured to have been his manager."

David Beckham - "the greatest of all time"

Xavi -"the '90s and early 2000's best player"

Roberto Carlos - "he is the best player I've seen"

I consider myself one of the most privileged people in the world for the simple fact that I got to watch Zizou play. He is a God among men.

So, we take these quotes seriously when it's about Zidane, but when someone says something similar about, say, Messi, they're talking bullshit?

Want me to pull out quotes about Laudrup?
