He is my Goat for sure!! Also the video explained the reason for his last headbutt 10:15
If you remember his last video. You don't mess or insult his family! That's exactly what the Italian did
@@moventofly i dont understand. how the he*l ("I prefer your sister") can referred to "keep talking, I don't care ". I'm lost. for me it is still an insult, and provoke. even in a normal game or daily living.
But insults helped the other team because he's hot tempered. That's foolish. Will never forgive him for that
The crazy part about that is that Zidane was known to be quiet and was very calm 99% of the time.
But this remaining 1% happened at two important and defining moments of his career, cost him 1 Ballon d'Or and cost France 1 World Cup Title.
As you said he's already in the legend conversation but probably could have been one of the GOATs without these.
Still cannot believe that happened. I can't imagine what the Italian guy said to get that response at that moment, but it must have been horrible. And probably deserving of a Red in it's own right.
@@careyfreeman5056 Materazzi who was marking him kept pulling his shirt. Zidane told him I'll give my jersey at the end of the game and Materazzi reponded I'd prefere if you would give your sister thus the legendary headbutt.
@@careyfreeman5056 reportedly this was what was said: "After the third clash, I frowned and he retorted: 'I'll give you my shirt later'. I replied that I'd rather have his sister than his shirt."
He's also one of the GOATs, if you've seen him play there's no way he doesn't make it. One more trophy doesn't change that.
Zidane was known to be very sanguine. In the France national team during the Euro 2000 it was agreed that if Zidane was attacked it was up to the other players to avenge him, he should never respond.
Man for me, Zidane would always be the GOAT. He's the one who made me start loving the sport. His roulettes and the paneka in 2006 final just made it more clear who the GOAT would be for ME. Everyone has their own 🐐. For me, it's Zizou.
If you love pure football, pure technic, you have to love Zizou. He was a mix of a dancer and a magician on the pitch. I watch him play in real (in stadiums) many times from Bordeaux to Real Madrid, I can promise you that all the fans in the stadium were just opened mouth every time Zizou get the ball. A marvelous player.
Sorry for my "frenchglish", i Hope you understand what I mean.
Zizou t'es le meilleur ! 🇨🇵🇨🇵
Zidane's outburst and red cards were more common than what the video suggest. Even during the WC 1998 he got sent off for a bad gesture against Saudi Arabia in the group stage. The consequence was that France had to play the best of 16 against Paraguay without him, and ended on the verge of elimination only for a golden goal during extra time.
Daily Dose of Football and Raymar are two of my favorite Football based channels
And tifo and tifo irl and Starman Dave and football made simple
Football iconic is also great
Football iconic as well
Maqwell deserve a shout
@@incognito_. Same Raymar videos are always so interesting the way he presents them
I think it’s unfair to say that the headbutt took him out of the GOAT conversation. He is always in the GOAT convo, greatest midfielder of all time and one of the 5 greatest players of all time. Fantastic career
His link up play with Del Piero at Juventus was incredible.
Zidane as a manager won 3 champions leagues in a row with real madrid between 2016 and 2018.
In the 2000 ucl final he scored the best ucl final goal of all time with a volley
2002 not 2000
RAYMAR FOOTBALL makes the best ‘educational’ football videos. Even after being a fan for 10 years he can still teach me a lot of new things I never knew.
You have to react to "Did Franck Ribery Deserve the Ballon d'Or 2013?" sometime. His dribbling is of a style I've never seen before in a player. To me his dribbling is the definition of the ball is a magnet to his feet. He played for Bayern Munich and his partnership with Arjen Robben is regarded as one of the best partnerships in the history of the sport. Obviously there are sooo many players that are worth reacting to; old and new. I hope you get a chance to react to all of them eventually.
So true. There is no Michael Jordan of football. Just too many good players at multiple positions.
What "partnership"? Ribery and Robben played on opposite sides of the pitch at Bayern Munich, Ribery played along the left outline and Robben played along the right outline so both were divided by 68 meters of the pitch´s width so they saw each other during the game just from far...basically that was literally just a "long distance relationship" and no "partnership"
Ribery had "a partnership" with David Alaba because both were "playing together" along the left outline at Bayern Munich, besides they were and they are best friends in private life as well...and that is what I then call "a partnership" by definition.
@@michaelgrabner8977 What is meant by partnership is how lethal it was to have them together. The fact that they were on opposite sides is exactly what makes it a great partnership: danger from the right, danger from the left. If one misses, the other will get it. A nightmare for the opposite team.
@@kenzied.silvers6614 You didn´t get my point at all....The point was "Partnership" is the wrong term for describing that.
The term "partnership" soley implies that those 2 were passing the ball to each other on the pitch all the time .
"A close interacting with each other" = "the actual definition for the term partnership" ...and that wasn´t the case between Robben and Ribery for obvious reasons = their position on the pitch wasn´t "side by side" in order to be capeable to do that.
You can just say for instance those 2 were "essential and lethal parts of their team" for describing what those 2 did at Bayern Munich
@@michaelgrabner8977 I got your point, we simply have different definitions of partnership. To me it's a partnership if you have two outstanding players in the same team making the team better.
Zidane's 2002 UEFA Champions League final goal is a thing of true football beauty... a moment of astonishing timing and balletic perfection! The best goal ever scored in a major final... maybe? czcams.com/video/4TuggkDPw6A/video.html
Greetings from Germany. It's been fun watching your videos and seeing you fall in love with the beautiful game. From the mid 90s to the mid 2000s Zidane was the best. I was heartbroken by his headbutt in the 2006 world cup final ... just for him I wanted France to win.
Never has "stats" been important in football. It's only recently it's been "Americanized" and people look at xg (expected goals), averages etc to rate players. The intangibles in this sport, I feel, are too important to disregard. If you actually looked at a game, you'd see how brilliant Zidane was and no stat could convince you otherwise. Even as a pre-teen I was amazed watching him play. I hope other players like him can come through and make others childhoods as magical as mine.
Good comment... couldn't agree more!
If you like Reymar you should try Football Iconic too. Similar type of documentaries on players, historic teams or moments etc. I think you'd love his stuff.
Zinedine Zidane is the second greatest player of all time behind Maradona. Greatest midfielder of all time that understood the tactics of opposition within the first 5 minutes of play and would continue to destroy them. Managers opposing Zidane feared him for that very thing. No matter what they tried Zidane always had an answer on the pitch within minutes.
Facts bro. I didn't get the opportunity to see Maradona but I heard and saw his skill and he's definitely a GOAT but I was fortunate enough to see Zidane. He's my GOAT
I know people say Messi is the GOAT, and I don't know that I disagree, but Zidane should be in the conversation and he's my GOAT. He just doesn't get that same attention because he's about controlling the game in the midfield rather than scoring flashy goals. The guy was MAGIC with the ball. Seriously... he was like Magic Johnson - perfect vision of the field, could make every pass, and he was bigger than the guys trying to guard him so they couldn't slow him down.
He's my GOAT too. People will say he wasn't as consistent as Messi which is true, however, when on form, Zidane can drag my sunday league to the World Cup final. Messi can't carry a team like Zidane did. I know I will get a lot of hate for saying that but that's the truth
@@nativeyo Yeah, scorer's need their team more and can disappear when the midfield isn't able to get them the ball. Not ZZ - he could (and did!) track all the way back to get the ball and bring it forward.
Give me the player that can dominate a game from Box to Box, not just the last 10 yards.
@@DavidWilliams-nm5jv well said. Let's also not forget that he had to be talked out of international retirement because France were not going to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. He comes back and they go to the penalties of the World Cup Final.
Thiery Henry is one mbappé idols. They play alike and Mbappé often recreate Henry celebrations.
Before Messi vs Ronaldo There was Zidane vs Ronaldinho debate and imo Zidane settled it in 2006 WC just before his retirement the same way Messi did.
I'm always impressed by Zidane went to the finals at 33 and Messi did at 35. Simply GOATs.
But was it Zidane vs Ronaldinho? I mean their era had tons of stars 😂 Even the Ballon DOr was diverse af.
@@AIIXIII0 That was the golden era somehow Messi and Ronaldo killed the game.
Ronaldinho VS Zidane was the most recent that lead to Ronaldo VS Messi. Also it might be the first football internet debate.
@@fays_bn4321 ahh I don't have internet back then 😂😂
Personally, I think Zidane vs Ronaldo would be proper but yeah, they were teammates (Different position too but same star power.) 😂 Maybe that's why its Ronaldinho instead.
@@AIIXIII0 Same I remember I got a CD of a downloaded YT video Zidan vs Ronaldinho compilation.
It could be Ronaldo too I mean he faced both on 2006 and it was masterclass. I was team Ronaldinho back then.
@@fays_bn4321 True. Zidane is the Brazilian killer 😂 My personal nickname for him.
Also you can't understand how much of a legend Zidane is without talking about his coaching career.
The guy one the most prestigious trophee three times in a row in his first three seasons as a coach, becoming one of the best coaches ever in just 2.5 years... That's insane
Only two incidents in his whole carreer. For me he is the GOAT!
You need to watch a vid on Theirry Henry man. He was something else.
If you like to watch and learn about football tactics, you should definitely watch ‘football made simple’ videos. He makes videos on the tactics and strategy that is use by managers during matches from the world cup and league games.
I bit late here, but it will be worth it to watch Thierry Henry. He is the reason I got into and started liking soccer and am an Arsenal fan till this day.
Zaidan is definitely one of the Goats and the headbutts have never took anything away from him from my perspective. He did everything and won it all. Nothing more to prove to anyone. He did it as a player and Won many awards as coach as well.
Zidane-one of the greatest central midfielders of all time 👍
Zidane hot headed is one reason of why he is so beloved. One thing I don't like about Messi and C.Ronaldo is mr no words and mr perfect. They are inspiring but not relatable. Zidane make mistakes. You hear him speaks, he looks like one of us. He is human.
Great video bro, love the reactions
You definitly need to Watch Thierry Henry , you will not be disapointed
11:36 seriously words cannot express how phenomenal this touch/control is right here in this clip
The most elegant player I have seen Zizou!!!
In 2000, west Germany was not necessarily "a very long time ago", just a decade
I was 17 in 1998, so Zidane is a monument as a player. As the saying goes, you can leave the hood but the hood never leaves you... Nobody has any grief toward him for the final against italy, simply because most of us would have done the same.
There're things you don't say 😋
As for Thierry Henry and Franck Ribéry they're quite the players to look at
@@moventofly being italian he perfectly knew that it was the exact same thing as an insult... You don't involve mothers and sisters or you have it coming. Did Zidane had sole time kind of a short fuse as a player? No doubt about it, it was known... Speak or behave like a little punk and you'll be treated accordingly
@@moventofly what a laugh, yeah saying to someone than rather than his jersey (an object) you're rather have his sister, when you say this kind of things you imply you'd bang her. But no issue hey, that's showing some class and respect toward women. The simple fact you don't see the issue there just let me know you're a piece of shit
What Zidane had was besides his uncredible ball skills foremost elegance. Every move he made with the ball looked like an elegant dance with the ball and was pure "beauty" to watch. That makes him stand out to all the other great names in football. Is he the all time GOAT is debatable but was he the all time most elegant player while having the ball on his feet.. that´s for sure.
In my country, peoples call Zidane "chân mệnh thiên tử" which can be roughly translate to "the chosen one".
Because he won everything as a player, and then won 3 UCL in a row as a coach.
How the fuck does that happen...
I think to understand the player and the game in general those kind of videos where there is highlights and explanations are a really good idea to look at and react to.
There is probably a video about The Galacticos for you to look at. They did not win that much championship but I think it is really defining for football
Zidane is absolutely one of the greatest players of all time,06 WC does not change that, it might have put him in the ALL time goat conversation, ...really, he probably still is but it for sure hurt his claim, but there is no doubt that guy was one of the greatest players,absolutely no doubt
10:26 hey,you missed the reason there.
You have to remember that this was pre-messi/Ronaldo era where there wasn't an undisputed best player in the world.
The ballon dor would cycle around amazing players that had their best years and in the next year, someone else would have a great year. Zidane had many great years.
To me, he was the best player in the 2000s before the aliens arrived.
Yup, check out Thierry Henry. He was the greatest striker the Premier League ever had. He has a statue in London. He was world champion with Zidane in 1998, at the age of 20. He was the man with the most goals scored for Frane until Olivier Giroud beat that record during Qatar's World Cup.
I remember Maradona saying what if Zidane was short, like 1.7m tall or less. With the lower center of gravity of Maradona or Messi, Zidane would´ve been unstoppable.
Everything he says about Zidane here is very true, but I would say it also applies (even more so) to Maradona, which is why Maradona is my GOAT, its all about impact on the game directly and indirectly, CR7 for sure scores so many goals, but he does not make his team mates play better. Messi does to some extent improve his team mates, but really his peak was about his threat, same with Ronaldinho.
Maradona and Zidane are the 2 players I have seen that have had the biggest impact on team mates as well as being phenomenal themselves, Others on that level might be Lothar Matthaus, Ruud Guillit and to a lesser extent I think Gerrard had this quality too although he's not in my all time 11
Matthaus(6) Zidane(8) and Maradona (10) would probably be my all time midfield 3 ,
My all time greatest 11
Kahn (1)*
Cafu (2) Nesta, (4) Ramos (5) Maldini (3)
Matthaus(6)
Zidane(8) Maradona (10)
Messi (11) Luis Ronaldo (R9)* Ronaldinho 7*
*at his peak
Honestly Zidane was generous headbutting him in the chest.
"Zidane does some extraordinary things. But what Zidane does with a ball, Maradona could do with an orange."
-Michel Platini
Amen bro
...and Zidane replied "we don't play football with oranges"!
To put zidane even close to the GOAT convo is insane and is simply fueled by france and madrid media. He is on the convo for best midfielder ever but he doesn’t touch best player
Love your content, and I have some suggestions for you!
I've been watching football for at least a decade now and there's a lot to learn, but I thought you could start by looking up Ribery and Thierry Henry because they were mentioned in this video.
I also think you should watch some compilations of Pele and highlights of Argentina's goals in the 1986 world cup when maradona led them to victory. I can see why people call each of them the best in the world, but it's still Messi for me.
Last suggestion! I think you'd enjoy reacting to full match highlights rather than compilations. It's much easier to understand how a game develops when you see it in full rather than chopped up in compilations. If you're not sure where to start, I highly recommend the premier league highlights from NBC sports because they give you a full sense of the development of each play throughout the game. Pick a team to follow and just watch their highlights every weekend! I think that would be fun to see and would help you apply what you've learned in a real game.
There are lots of classic matches to look up highlights for as well. Almost any El Clasico (any game between fc Barcelona and real Madrid) would be a good one to watch, or maybe look up older world cup final highlights (2010 and 2014 maybe?).
Again, love to see you learning about the sport. Hope this helps! Love the content and hope you keep it up!
78 mln euro in 2001 is crazy. But we has wort every peny and more. Another my favorite is Anrea Pirlo for elegance.
11:17
For context Thierry Henry is considered by many myself included to be the best premier league player ever, and Ribery at some point was honestly the best player in the world not named Messi or Ronaldo
The next level to understand football is that its not only about scoring goals.
Alot of new fans to the game only look to those payers that scores goals but they wont score goals if it werent for players like Zidane.
These type of players are called "maestros" or "registas"
They are the players that dictate the tempo, bring the ball from defence to offense, distributes the ball and makes the key passes.
They are what conductors are to an orchestra.
Xavi and Pirlo are two other good examples. Xavi took Barcelona to another level with his passing and ballcontrol.
I think you should start reacting to Brazilian Football too!
Please watch Zinedine Zidane-The Master of Elegance, there u will see how good was Zidane
Zidane's ball controle are just insane for real
You need to watch Dennis Bergkamp. Silky skills.
Just wanna throw out there that Wayne Rooney is another player worth watching compilations of. He is a Manchester united legend for his pinpoint passing ability and his excellent scoring ability and consistency. His bicycle kick against Manchester city is probably his best and most impressive goal.
FIY in 2006 France line up
Thierry Henry at that time he is one of the best striker in the world. He carry Arsenal to UCL final at that year.
Frank Ribery is also great young winger. Whos really play good in the tournament.
IMO Zidane is one of the GOAT in his position ( To be fair football have no GOAT player to me. Because it a team play sport and no one complete that attack defence and also goal keeping. So Messi is GOAT at Thequartista or Advance Playmaker in the winger position. ) Zidane is the old number 10 role whos control the pace domonate in attack half of the pitch his position also in the midfield ie center. It much more easy if you play Football manager it easy way to learn about position and attribute if you have a time check it out.
10:37 to answer your question, that guy (materazzi) insult zidane family. then headbutt happen. 😅
He is the best period
You don't know Thierry Henry??? The best striker in Premier League history. Insane.
lol at you getting distracted by the stadium and missing the backstory for the headbutt haha. Good to see you reacting to these sorts of videos though, fun to watch you learn actual context and lore about some of the legendary players we all love instead of just watching highlights with no context. Gives more of a perspective on why these guys are considered the greats.
Also, I would highly, highly, highly recommend Football Iconic's video on Thierry Henry, one of the players France subbed out whose name you didn't recognize in this video. He was unbelievable, considered by most as the best striker the Premier League has ever seen and led Arsenal to an unprecedented 38 game unbeaten season in 2004, something no other team has EVER done in the modern era. Very worth a watch czcams.com/video/ZFJArIeTs68/video.html
Guilty as charged 🥴
10:15 You totally missed the explanation about the one of the most iconic & infamous moment in football history.
R9 vs R10 (Ronaldo vs Ronaldinho)
I dont understand why he dont mentionned that but, Zidane’s headbutt was is last play in his carreer xD
Raymar has awesome videos to multiple Legends. Some names along Zizou would be:
Ronaldhino
Ronaldo Fenomeno
Kaka
Harry Maguire
Eto
Adriano
Guti
Thierry Henry
I don't even need to watch it to say it isn't nearly possible.
I'll just quote Michel Platini (the best French till Zidane): "What Zidane could do with a ball, Maradona could do with an orange.”
He's not even close.
11:22 "I don't know those names (Thierry Henry and Franck Ribery)"
well, time to find out. especially if you're getting into watching the Premier League, knowing Thierry Henry is pretty much an unspoken rule
Check out Thiery Henry. He played for my favorite Arsenal FC
This video didn't show his goal in the UCL final which is considered the best or at least one of the best UCL final goals.
For me Zidane and Maradona
Watch zidane when football becomes art or Zinedine Zidane-The Master of Elegance, there u will see how good was Zidane
Zidane still give me goosebumps. Ich knowl C. Ronaldo has much better stats but I would pick Zidane over him for my team - no question. What a machine. There are only a handful of players that I admire as much as him. And this is coming from a German..
Good reaction. However I can't understand why people believe that if Zidane was on the pitch France would have won. The penalty kicks are unpredictable, players like Ronaldo and Messi missed penalty kicks so why couldn't Zidane? Trezeguet was in 2006 one of the best striker in the world,and yet he hit the crossbar...
Those who just watch football like Messi or Ronaldo. Those who understand football prefer Zidane!
hello Luke i like your videos. Arsenal fan here and i think you know next monday premier league returns, i hope you watch some games. Now i want to infrom you about the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship - the event is taking place at the Alexandra Palace in London from 15 December 2022 to 3 January 2023. I would love to see your reaction to that sport too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Greetings from Hungary.
U should react to Real Madrid 2022 champions leage playoffs. It had 3 of the most epic club football matchups I've ever seen.
11:23 , Well Now you should know about Thierry Henry then. One of the Greatest France has Produced. He made his Legendary status playing for ARSENAL FC in English Premier League (EPL) & by Winning 1998 WC with ZIDANE. He's considered by many The best Player & Striker to play in the EPL ever. Watch & React a highlight video of him.
Frank Ribery was a Beast too, one of the best Winger's of his Generation & a BAYERN MUNICH LEGEND.
11:23 time to check out Thierry Henry then :)
1. Messi (Argentina)
2. Maradona (Argentina)
3. Pele (Brazil)
4. Ronaldo (Brazil)
5. Zidane (France)
Next time you do a Messi reaction you should throw in as a bonus a short clip called "Ankara Messi chiquito".
You need to watch clips of Thierry Henry in the Invincible season.
Next video recommendations has got to be Leicester City winning the premier league and a video on the rise of Kante!
You should check about Thierry Henry another french legend !
Brother these guys are good but you have to check out R9. The best video is ronaldo nazario when football becomes art. Anything before his world cup win 2002 was prime football!!
Mate you need to watch Steven Gerrard, long shot legend
Get onto Thierry Henry! Best player in Premier League history!
CM's are the most important players in the game and typically the best overall players. Though not as good as Zidane, go check out a video of Ruud Gullitt. What would it look like if America's best athletes played? They'd look a lot like Gullitt.
apart from Zidane, Thierry Henry is one of the best/most famous french players of that (or really any) generation. One of the best players in Premier league history, people compare Mbappe to HIM.
“What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.”
- Michel Patini
Said by the best French till Zidane
Il n’a jamais dit cela
You should check the other Ronaldo, el fenômeno, arguably the best player to ever be plagued by injuries, and someone most people agree could have been the goat if he was healthy.
You need to watch Ronaldinho you'd love it
Zidane had hands instead of feet.
France at the moment of Zidanes last world cup also had maybe the biggest clown in football as a manager. Wich has since become apparent. So maybe that played in to Zidanes bad decision? The substitutions of Henry and Ribery was certainly stupid.
But then he became a coach... one of the best in the world
W
Thierry Henry is name you def check out
Dude, he told you what matterazi said but you were sidetracked about the stadium.
If you think Zidane was good You should definitely check out Thierry Henry videos, he was fantastic
do roberto carlos to see the most powerful kicks ever
People need to stop bringing Pele up against more modern greats as if he is somehow equal. Pele played at a time when fitness was of a much lower standard than it is today, Pele in his prime wouldn't be anywhere near as effective against defenders from the past 20 years as the likes of Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, Messi, etc, have been.
Somebody tell him about Ronaldo Da Lima..i can't choose good videos
only r9 can after injury 3 years withot playing and back and score 8 goals win world cup 2002 no one in football history can do that
Watch a Theirry Henry video
Another mistake: only Trezeguet missed a penalty in the 2006 final
Also Ribéry was not yet the superstar he would become later
Trezeguet was a much better option to shoot a penalty. Ribéry was not fit for 120 mins and had zero experience whereas Trezeguet was one of the best strikers in the world at the time
