Guest SandyWATP Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Football is theatre man. There's the game, and the game's just a game, but there's the narrative too. Zidane is all narrative. He's fucking King Lear man. 1:51-57 fucksake, it's like Swan Lake or something.I'd argue that the very first bit of skill is the most technically amazing.To do that from a long ball, turn in one movement, and get past his man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Best player I have ever seen.Messi will probably go on to become the greatest but for me Zidane will always be up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertManderson 2 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The thing I liked about Zidane was the fact he got stuck in too if needed. Quality footballer and my favourite ever.Messi will probably be the better player in time but I enjoyed watching Zidane far more than I have done so far with Messi.

papaguy51 912 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Messi is the better player, but I can see why a lot of people prefer Zidane.Far more elegant and easy on the eye, whilst making everything look so simple.I can't separate them in my mind.For Zidane to be the sort of player he was at 6'2 and 13 stone is magnificent.

Guest SandyWATP Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Both, when I think about it.A bit random, but it's scary to think how could Ronaldo could have become.He probably hit his peak at 20, which is pretty sad Pretty much a 6ft Messi.

neilstonloyal 186 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Zizou is definitely my favourite player of all time. I mean I watch Messi just now and he's something else but I grew up on Zidane. He's definitely up there with the Cruyffs, Maradonas and Peles. His sheer technical ability was astounding. I mean just look at how he takes this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDLZOf9y0eg&feature=fvsthow the fuck hampden staged a champions league final a dont have a clue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Messi is the better player, but I can see why a lot of people prefer Zidane.Far more elegant and easy on the eye, whilst making everything look so simple.It sounds undeniable stupid, but Zidane's height and posture just makes him look more sophisticated in comparable to Messi. I'd agree with you on what you said about Messi being the better player, or at least going on to be the better player.But give me Zidane at his peak every time.
