As Zidane has aura its hard for people to have an actual discussion about him. It is true to a degree. BUT he turned up in the big games like the BEST players in the world are suppose to. Sometimes it was jsut that one moment and sometime like the Portgual Euro 2000 Semi or theBrasil QF in 2006 he would put on masterclass for the ages.
I use to bring this up on SOHH years ago. And then Michael Cox has also mentioned this either on the Athletic or in his book Zonal Marking. I'm guessing the video creator most likely got it from Michael Cox and then a deep dive. Or there's been things in the media recently how Zidane could of gone to Blackburn or Newcastle. And then there the story of how Yanited were interested in him at Euro 96 where he had a stinker of a tournament and that cooled their interest and it came out that Fergie pulled the plug as he didnt want to upset Cantona. Tbf to Zidane he basically played from July 1st 95 all the way around to June 26th 96.
I was more a Djorkaeff fan and Michael Laudrup was the better playmaker than him. I'll await for some idiot to quote this and they ask you don't rate Zidane? Which I havent said I just prefer other players.
I'm impressed
You know ball as Nigerian brehs would say
Zidane was inconsistent or unmotivated as hell against smaller teams, you can't only turn up in big games
I always felt players like Baggio,maldini,batistuta and Del piero were better/ more consistent than him in serie a when he was at Juventus
And at Madrid, it was a similar story. raise your game against barcelona,valencia et al and drop stinkers against las palmas
