@@malmansouri83andreas pirlo had an insane first touch im not gonna mention that other Argentine but his first touch is certainly amazing aswell zlatan iniesta ozil Dennis Bergkamp sone people with a great first touch
Best thing about Zidane’s first touch was the range of touches he did, not just simple controls but chest, outstretching ones that he made look effortless
This is it exactly. Many players could score, beat opponent one on one or take a spectacular free kick. But Zizou did all of that and yet the best part of his game was his incredible awareness of everyone´s position on the pitch, incredible first touch and control, topped off by his creative vision. Not many players could literally run the game as he did from midfield. For me that is football poetry. Maybe not as exciting as ronaldinho, not as dynamic as ronaldo, or smooth as messi, but the overall skillset...
2:40 "How did he do that?": He uses the outside of his foot. The ball is moving to his (Zidanes) right, he uses the outside of his foot, which naturally creates spin that will move the ball right, he moves his foot across the ball at point of contact (almost opposite to the direction it came) he is trying to make very small light contact and just "brush the ball" the light impact causes a small change in direction which puts the ball back in his team mates path, while conserving the balls momentum. ------- More detail: This is why I commented on a previous video, to learn your own mistakes, because the first time most people encounter this , they are trying to use the outside of the foot to kick the ball normally, but the don't get a solid contact and the ball just spins off their foot and goes the opposite side, or even the opposite direction to where the kicker intends. Zidane has used this mechanic deliberately. Its not a mistake, but you will see this type of thing happen by mistake even to pro's, and recognising what it feels like , and what happens when doing these mistakes, can help you actually develop them into deliberate tools. No coach will EVER teach you to do this move though, as it requires extremely good touch and , well, a lot of people can't do this kind of thing. I can , but with something like this you have to choose the right time to do it, and the right situation. Zidane was a master, possibly the greatest ever, at using the right trick or technique for the right time and only at the right time. ---- Learning from great players: I honestly think people can learn more from a player like Zidane than from someone like Messi. Messi is for sure the best Wing Forward I have ever seen and a special player, but he is the perfect build and size to use his skill set, Zidane was an all round player that was ultra technical, and anyone can learn from watching his choices on a Football pitch (with the right attitude and obviously a good foundation in playing football). Most of what he does a big medium or small guy can take something from and apply it to their game. Although a lot can be learned from Messi , if you are much bigger than him, its going to be hard to apply it in the same way. Also his strengths are not so much about choosing the right tool for the right situation, and more about having a strong set of tools to unlock just about any defence
@@prettyflacko211 he said ‘all time 11’ meaning all time squad…but also tbh it’s his personal list, can’t argue with that, for some their GOAT is Ronaldinho for all I know, even though you’d think it’s maybe Messi or CR7
The reason he kicked the other side Is because he kicked with the outside of the foot and Made it spin very fast, so it causes some physics stuff effect and the ball goes that way
2:59 thats physics bro take a ball make it spin to the right and it will go to the right when after it bounce. He’s using the outside of his foot to make it spin
Chapeau de France ! L'équipe! magnifique vidéo , c'est vraiment une vidéo très rare de Zizou ce joueur merveilleux, à montrer dans toutes les écoles de football .. S'il vous plaît !une vidéo de Johan Cruyff et de Maradona ces autres magiciens du football... Un abonné de plus pour vous les gars... Longue vie
People like to compare players and who is the best player or style but there is a plus with Zidane; it help his teamates winning matches thanks to tempo This style is a jewel for a team. It gives tempo and the team have time to place themselves knowing the ball is secure In a 90minutes games where players are running for 10 miles it's really precious and can help winning drawed or lost matches
watch zidane ruin brazil all by himself craziest performance ever
And that was ancient Zidane
His first touch is on another level, not sure I have ever seen a better first touch
Ronaldinho and Maradona have better first touch than Zidane
Berbatov😊

Back in those days, Zinedine Zidane was allowed by Fifa to break the laws of physics.

Zidane is probably top 5 players ever, he would get in my All time 11 for sure
Imo the best and most undisputed midfielder
🙄 name a better midfielder talking about top eleven, stop smoking crack Zidane is greatest of all time
@@prettyflacko211 he said ‘all time 11’ meaning all time squad…but also tbh it’s his personal list, can’t argue with that, for some their GOAT is Ronaldinho for all I know, even though you’d think it’s maybe Messi or CR7
i m french , he is the best players
Zidane is the most dominante Medfielder all time 😊
Laudrup is up there, too.
Zidane is clicking the secret unlockable buttons his body is in the opposite way from where the ball goes 😂 what is happening 😅
Midfield wizard 🧙♀️
You just discover the magic of Zizou, a pure football artist.
The reason he kicked the other side Is because he kicked with the outside of the foot and Made it spin very fast, so it causes some physics stuff effect and the ball goes that way
He singlefootedy(?) destroyed one of the best Brazil teams ever at the world cup

Yaya touré next ? He was a Beast at man city
le fameeux couple zidane , thierry henry . une époque de genie

We did vids on johan cryuf and maradona
Should react to Xavi Alonso master of passes
Next alessandro del piero 🎉🎉
Sometimes you can't understand
Not fast, not really too strong. Tall but the touch and the effortlessness…was crazy
i agree with not that fast but i think he was stroooong as hell, opponents use to bounce off him trying to play physical 😅
@@paps91800 you’re right about that. I wanted to say..he seems soft but yeah! He is not

Not too strong? 😂😂😂
Every footballer that played against and with zidane said he was strong as hell
