    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.

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.

      Here's a newflash for the casual fans and stans: Winning a world cup for France, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy is more of an expected goal than it is a miracle against all odds because those countries are so flush with talent pools, they always have loaded teams with top in their position talents all over the roster.
