Zinédine Zidane opened the memory box to recall a teammate who marked his career.
The embodiment of romantic and aesthetic football, Zinédine Zidane remains the idol of an entire generation. Through his silky technique and his inventiveness, the former number 10 of the Blues is considered one of the greatest players of all time. And yet, Zidane believes he is not the best of his time.
On the SKWeek Show hosted by Tony Parker, Zinedine Zidane revealed the identity of a footballer he considers to be more talented: Luiz Nazario de Lima, alias Ronaldo. First of the name. “ You had the Brazilian Ronaldo who told you ‘I’m going to make 2 little bridges for you’, it was funny. Because that’s it, you announce what you’re going to do, and if you don’t do it, you get fooled by everyone“, said Zidane, smiling.
“More talented than me?” Yes, nothing to see »
“ The most talented? Yeah… I actually put it everywhere because it was fun. You have guys who get you something and play next to you. More talented than me? Yes ! Nothing to see… But also a good person, that is to say that the guy was a phenomenon on the field, but also he makes you laugh“, concluded the 1998 world champion. These two faced each other one summer evening for a world title, but they were also and above all friends in life.
