Zinedine Zidane Player Quotations

The door can never be closed for good to any player.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.

I am supposed to set an example to young players.

I have six months or one year left, that's true. I am closer to the end than the start. I want to make the most of my last moments as a football player and experience them at 100%. I know that otherwise after I retire I will regret all those times.

Zidane is unique. The ball flows with him. He is more like a dancer than a football player.

Zidane is one of the greatest players in history, a truly magnificent player.

It's only natural to want to select your best players and there is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own. He's almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play.

Zidane is the master. Over the past 10 years, there's been no-one like him, he has been the best player in the world.

Zidane is probably the best player there has been in the past 20 years ... France have recovered the best Zidane and they have progressively grown throughout this tournament.

All of us at Juventus agreed Manchester United were the best side we met in the Champions League. They have so many talented young players and can only get better and better. Giggs is truly world class

Ronaldinho is total class - a very, very great player. He is quick, powerful, and has extraordinary technical qualities. He is a dribbler but is also a player who can make the play for his teammates. He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.
