Roy Keane - On Playing Against Zidane “People don’t realise how big he was..” #zidane #keane #story

6ft + and he was gliding around like a ballerina. Zidane was just different.

[telmolicious]

The thing I liked about Zidane is that he headbutted ppl.

Most Roy Keane thing ever 😂

"So I'm like an angel next to him" 🤣🤣🤣

[adunozi]

6'2 and dribbling like he was 5'7

I remember Zidane in the 2000 euros - possibly the greatest individual performance of all time. Every single game in that tournament, he was just taking the piss, doing absolutely anything he wanted. Destroying teams on his own. Reminiscent of Maradonna at the 1986 World Cup

Technically flawless, big, tough, cant be pushed off the ball, sees a path anywhere, beautiful first touch.. the perfect midfielder.

[Zigmeister]

That “technical” advice from the Irish, though!🤣🤣

[martinpye]

He was 6'2 and moved gracefully, had an attitude and was tough as a granite biscuit. When Roy Keane says he was the toughest, well, I'll take that. Two cracking players from another era. They'd both be serving time these days, let alone a two week ban .

Zidane is the best I’ve seen in my 57 years. It’s subjective of course, but for me he had it all.

“What I loved about Zidane was he was nasty”
Lol typical Roy Keane comment.

[orianscott]

If Keane said you're tough ...u know wassup lol

[karlclifford]

What I love about Keane is he never talks about how skilful or graceful Zidane was - he always just seems to say he was a nasty bastard. Love it!

[omarjets]

Zidane the Greatest Player of my Generation 🇫🇷

People don't realise how good some footballers really were before CR7 and Messi. Zidane was unreal, he literally embodied you're created midfielder on fifa😂. Ronaldinho was a baller. R9 arguably one of the best you'll ever see.

[Mister_Ri_MFBMT]

"So, I'm like an angel next to him". That is funny coming from RK.

The last time Keane played against Zidane was in a 2006 World Cup qualifier which the brilliant french team won 1-0 but it was Keane's last great performance for Ireland and Zidane was taken of with 10 minutes to go but when the final whistle went Zidane jogged from the dug out to Keane who was walking of the pitch away from the rest of the players and they shook hands and showed respect for each other and they faced each other 8/9 times in which Keane won 3 or 4 battles against the legend and both got 11 red cards in there careers and both ended there careers in mid 2006 and both were 34 years old but only a couple of months of 35.

Best player I’ve ever seen. Was on another level

[munyaradzimuzividzi]

Roy Keane and Micah Richards the most unlikely friendship, love it!!!

If Roy is an Angel next to you, then you are something else.

Zidanes balance, strength on the ball and space awareness was majestic. He made himself so much time on the ball.
