I'm going to share my thought regarding one of my hobbies, football.
This time about the greatest of the greatest players in football history, Zinedine Zidane.
As a player, Zidane amongst other several great players has achieved everything that all football players in this planet want to have.
But what makes him different to the others?
World Cup semifinal 2006, France against Brazil sums it all.
Brazil squad 2006 is the best national team at the time, even in my opinion, one of the best teams in Football history.
There is no single game since 1998 final they ever taste the sour of loses. (Who was the man behind the defeat? ZIDANE).
Brazil golden squads: Ronaldo (the genuine one), Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Cafu, Dida; every football fans from all over the world, from any different background knows them for sure and in addition they were all on their prime time.
What about Zidane?. At the time he was already 34 years old, and had announced going to retire after the world cup long before the event begun.
The 'old man' was no longer at his prime time.
What Zidane had done to Brazil squad 2006?
Enough said..!!!
The following video demonstrate you what I mean.
Please don't get me wrong, this opinion is based not only on the 'roulette master' technical skills. But also on his ability to control the game, the ability to hypnotize opponent (the best in the world) team and all watchers.
Never knew any others greatest players have done this before. Even Messi or the current Ronaldo in this era, or Maradona even Pele in the old era do not match with him, not even close.
If you have another opinion, please feel free share your thought in the comment section.
PS: I am not a fan of Real Madrid, or Juventus, or even France National Football team.
