Zinedine Zidane named as Real Madrid's new coach.

Literally the most overrated performance of all time. He had like 2 good through balls and a set piece assist to a wide open Henry (Roberto Carlos literally preferred to tie his shoe than mark Henry).

This is literally every play in this video. There was one good set piece, 2 good passes and a bunch of fancy dribbling in midfield

I think Zidane was a fantastic, albeit slightly overrated player (not on the Maradona/Messi tier). But this performance is simply the most overrated game I've ever seen. Also people unironically think that Brazil was good in 2006, that's funny
>>64278723
For some reason they still use yards as a measurement in football (soccer) here.

show me the videos where xavi has this kind of impact on every match between 08-11, there may not be all of them because it's not the WC but if they were all so obviously superior to Zidane's right there where he essentially dictated the whole game and caused France to win with a not particularly good team on the biggest stage then there must be at least 15 or so single game vids where Xavi blow that performance out the water

Another one.
3:00, 5:00, 5:50 are more impressive than anything from Zidane during the Brazil game.
Also, yes, those movies have a few dispossessions and misplaced passes because they're actually performance videos rather than 10 cherrypicked moments from a game
>gifted attacking players
>making good managers
heh. Cruyff was the one and only.
Zidane couldn't even hack it at Castilla. This "Zidane as coach" meme is just a personal Pérez project, who wants a Guardiola for his club. This shit was doomed from day 1.
sauce where
>>64278388
>>64279012
>>64279210
it's always fashionable to wear these tip top fedoras when Zidane is around
>>64279110
If you think this is a clearly more dominant performance than Zidane's you're living in lala land.
And we can also apply le super cynic retard commentary to those 2 passes
1:40 passes backwards, absolutely horrendous
3:20 a standard pass over the top of a poorly set defense which would lead nowhere if it weren't for the ridiculous control of messi
6:30 literally the most standard pass in the world made to look good because a quick player beats a ridiculously stretched defender 1 on 1
If this is you idea of obviously better then that's very sad. And if this is your prime example where you have said there 3+ seasons worth of matches more where he's apparently better yet this is quite clearly not better than that's extremely sad
>who wants a Guardiola for his club
Basically this that Sampaio is saying. At least, we will have laughs and memes.

keep backpedaling senpai, it's definitely doing you good.
Also 3:00 is more impressive than Zidane that whole match, I'm sorry have you lost your mind. One very standard tackle on an unconcentrating defender is more impressive than the entirety of Zidane's match against Brazil. You've utterly lost the plot
>>64279247
Wait, so Xavi's passes aren't impressive because the defence did not play them perfectly and Zidane's free kick assist is impressive even though Roberto Carlos literally did not even move an inch to mark Henry?
Explain pls
>>64279286

>>64278822
calling "Calling Zidane an overrated meme player is a meme for egdy contrarians" a meme on /sp/ is a meme
>all the dedicated Zidane hate ITT
Jesus christ! Who's paying you to do this? the Selecao? Brazil's ministry of foreign affairs? Bayer Leverkusen? Fatnaldo himself?
>>64279305
>One very standard tackle on an unconcentrating defender
One standard tackle on an unconcentrating defender that created a goal out of nothing. Show me Zidane creating a goal out of nothing during the Brazil game.
How many one on one chances did Zidane create in that Brazil game? Because Xavi just did here and you just dismissed it because it's "a standard tackle" while praising Zidane's performance full of "standard passes"
>>64279357
wut?
Brazilians love Zidane. Zidane himself acknowledged this. The casual brazilian football enthusiast can't make a top 20 list without Zidane.
And Ronaldo himself loves him, they're great friends still today.
For what it's worth, there's no comparison before pre-injury Ronaldo and Zidane - Memedane can only be compared to post-injury Ronaldo.
>>64279308
I'm using your mongo logic against you. See above where I say 'le super cynic retard commentary'
You can put a negative spin on anything deemed impressive, you just did it on Zidane's performance I just did it on Xavi's, now you're calling it out i.e. calling out your idiotic way of critiquing.
You just called yourself out
is it gay to have a hardon for Zidane?

It annoys me that players with good careers get top managerial jobs just because
They should earn their stripes at smaller clubs before they take over one of the biggest clubs in the world
Although I guess Real Madrid's expectations are so unrealistic anyway that all they need is just a manager to fall on his sword, as Benitez will do soon, it comes with the Real Madrid job. Nothing is good enough
But because Zidane is a popular Madrid name, this is guaranteed to end bad
>>64279218
Roberto Mancini's done alright
>>64279372
So no matter what way the chance unfolds it's only the end product which dictates how impressive it is?
By that logic when Messi dribbles past everyone on the team and sets up a tap in to whoever and they miss, that's less impressive than when Tim Howard kicks it from the goal kick and it ends in the back of the net.

Dispossessing the 2nd last man on defence and creating a 2 on 1 situation is not impressive? How often does that happen in a game of football? It took great awareness and precision to make that play, notice that he touches the ball just once and that standard tackle is also a perfectly placed pass at the same time

>>64279473
The thing is is that there's no metric for determining a good manager. It's some dark secret voodoo that giveth and taketh away.
You might as well give a former very well known player top training and a chance to learn at your junior clubs (which is what they were doing with Zidane), then throw him in the mix over taking some other random hack.
See: Guardiola
At least the fans will be more patient with them, at least at first.
>>64279580
I know you're invested in winning this argument but seriously watch it. Pressing the ball like all Barca players have been told to do and then nicking it because the player does a shit touch and you tackle him.
I'd expect literally any player in the top leagues to do that to do that in his position. Seriously ask yourself if you think that that move is more impressive than all the things Zidane does in the WC video. If you think it's more impressive then I really don't see any point in continuing this
>>64279669
If the guy training junior clubs does shit could be a good indicator if he will be a good manager or not.
>>64279636
Who won then Ackmed?
>>64279648
>hurr derp he has been expelled at the 110" he lose the game by himself.

>I'd expect literally any player in the top leagues to do that to do that in his position.
Then why do plays like that happen so rarely? I can only recall Porto doing the same Xabi Alonso in last year's CL semi.
It also shows Xavi's versatility, no one ever mentions that but he was a great tackler and could run all day. In the 11 CL final he literally covered more ground than Park Ji Sung. Meanwhile Zidane did next to nothing when it comes to defensive work and always needed a top class destroyer alongside him (he never won anything without Deschamps or Makelele)
>>64279727
I think losing their best penalty taker might have had an impact on the result of the penalty shootout
>>64279855
Donaldo is rated desu
>>64279861

Yes Trezeguet would have scored that penulty knowing that Zidane was here.
And Buffon would have stopped to be the best GK in the world because Zidane was around.
Stick to basketball nigger.

>>64279766
Shit I didn't realize Zidane was shitting up the Spanish third tier
Though they did go to shit once odegaard showed up
>>64279861
I actually think he's underrated on /sp/. At least his career overall, he's been pretty shit this season
>>64279883
They were shit before that.
Season with Zidane as manager started awful until Zidane was banned from training because he didn't have the license. With him out of the team they did better until Odegaard arrived.
>>64279883
>Though they did go to shit once odegaard showed up
yeah, this is also true, but overall Zidane has been a quite shit as a manager so far
>>64279012
>i don't rate
I admit, I don't know jack shit about your semen slurping sport nor do I care for it, but I do want to know what this "I don't rate" thing means, is it a meme, doesn't seem dank 2bh pham

because very few teams press like Barcelona have been made to and very few good players fuck up their touches that badly.
Why would zidane press hard in a team which is not set up that way?
Also, it's so rare that Alexis did it twice in one match
