I played Zidane throughout my career, and for many players you reach a point where you learn lessons on how to handle them. But from the first match I played against him to the last, Zidane would find different ways to beat me.
I have good memories with Zinedine Zidane, he defended me a lot of times, and I thank him for the confidence he had in me.
It's very sad that Tanzania is a poor football country. If elected, I promise to put this country on the world football map. I will make sure we produce our own Okochas, El Hadji Dioufs and Zinedine Zidanes here.
Iniesta - he is the Zinedine Zidane of the team, because he can do whatever you want him to with the ball.
Zidane is a very great player, a very calm player.

What Zidane can do with a football, Maradona could do with an orange.
To play with Zinedine Zidane was the biggest honour I have had in my career...
I consider Zidane to be an amazing player who has written football history.
Comparing Isco to Zidane isn't ridiculous. He is very close to Zidane in terms of ability, they have a lot of similarities. Zidane is obviously in a better position to judge, and he said Isco isn't there yet but could come close in the future.
Zinedine Zidane could be a champion sumo wrestler. He can run like a crab or a gazelle.
Who were the best players I had ever played against? Raul, Messi, Zidane.
Zidane was one of the best players that I have seen. Now as a coach, I try to learn as much as possible from him. He knows a lot because he was an exceptional player.

Zinedine Zidane knows how to deal with me.
Better than Zidane? That is impossible! It is always good for us to hear things like that, but we have to be real. I know where I am.
Ronaldo was my hero. I loved watching players like Zidane, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, but Ronaldo was the best striker I've ever seen. He was so fast he could score from nothing and could shoot the ball better than anyone I've ever seen.
Zidane the player made me dream and still makes me dream when I watch videos of him. The coach is completely different, he is a great coach who has quickly achieved results and continues to develop.
I don't have the words to express my gratitude to Zidane.
Zidane has shown that he is more than a coach.
Guardiola, Zidane, who's doing a great work, Tite, also doing a great job in the national team, Simeone. These are managers I would like to work with some day.
In truth, there is nobody who will be able to play like Zidane.

I always liked No. 10 because I loved Zidane. He was my role model. I always wanted to play like him.
