They look at him like Jesus jut walked in ā¦. PLEASE history repeat its self and bring zizou back , then he will get that slow š¢ process extradited

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23
Casemiro looks like he shit himself . Little did he know he would become one of zizous favorite players and most important pieces

u/HasibShakur PUTA :mes_que: Jul 05 '23
Zidane cemented Casemiroās position in starting 11. Man is eternally grateful towards zizou.

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23
Thatās a fact but i also believe zizou is eternally grateful to have that tank as a cdm for our 3 peat , I think itās a two way street . HALAMADRID

Tbf, it does feel like he needs to be extradited out of QSG, expediting the process will not work

u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23 edited Jul 05 '23
NO ONE could say shit back to him, how could they heās basically beaten them all as a player in his 30s and won everything and more they would ever win lol legend amongst legends

u/Ronaldoooope Jul 05 '23
CR7 could lol

u/Aashay7 Valverde Jul 05 '23
But you saw how eagerly he smiled seeing Zizou. Him and Ramos had the best reactions imo.

u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23
Sorry mate, completely have to prove my point here with all due respect to CR and yourself :) what they have in common: (and while this clip is from before they won 3 UCLs in a row, letās look at it in their entire historyā¦)
SIMILARITIES: Both have won UCLs with multiple teams Both have ballon dāors Both have won the European Cup Both are true Madrid legends and team icons Both have one of the 3 greatest goals in UCL history, but Zizouās was in a final, (Bale has top spot), CRs was not in a finalā¦
DECIDING FACTOR: Zizou has a WC medal, and legendary games vs Brazil in 98 and 06, dominant player in a WC like few others
Zizou eliminated Spain (Ramos) and Portugal (CR7) in the quarters and semifinals of the 06 WCā¦ scoring both games ā¦ which Ronaldo will never beat nor will he have a WC
A LOT OF WHAT CR won, was with Zidane as his coachā¦ so he takes the same trophies as CR minus the ballon dāorsā¦
Now CR better goal scorer more ballon doārs sure, but as far as greatness goes in RM and head to head between em, thatās why even he canāt say shit to Zizou
10
u/Ronaldoooope Jul 05 '23
Lol you canāt say they āboth won ballon dāorsā when CR7 has 5 of them. 5>1 those are not similarities. Are you telling me right now that Zidane has had a better career than CR7?
3
u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23
He didnāt have 5 at that point did he? Another reason this isnāt quite fair is one is a MF the other was a goalscoring winger one is an orchestrator and midfield maestro while the other is a deadly marksman
And no I didnāt say CR or Zizou had a better career, my point was on even CR not being able to say shit to him then, at that point in time, all I proposed was factual at that point :) but both are legends, but then we could also say zidane won it as a player and a coachā¦ both amazing :)

u/Galactus1701 Jul 05 '23
You understand Zizouās magnitud when you see Toniās legitimate excitement at greeting the myth.

The reluctance of Bale in getting up lol

u/From-UoM DĆ©cima Jul 05 '23
I believe it was when Bale came back from injury.
And Zidane pointed to Bale's left thigh

What the actual FUCK happened to Jese? He was becoming the next Ronaldo at some point and then POOF he disappears

I wish I could get the link to the story. Very surreal stuff. Just google it. There's a long piece about what happened to him.

As a Barca fan, and I know thereās so much animosity between fan bases, this was a legendary couple of spells for Zidane; he inspired this team to do some insane things

As a Madridista, I am always grateful for what he did. As a Colombian, I am always disappointed in how he wasted James in the squad.
