The problem with these types of pieces or takes is when you use the current prism to view players of the past. Not many come out in a favourable light.

This is a fair assessment. Cantona and Zidane were my gods when I was a young aspiring footballer getting my wee Leicester trial in 2000.As Zidane has aura its hard for people to have an actual discussion about him. It is true to a degree. BUT he turned up in the big games like the BEST players in the world are suppose to. Sometimes it was jsut that one moment and sometime like the Portgual Euro 2000 Semi or theBrasil QF in 2006 he would put on masterclass for the ages.
I use to bring this up on SOHH years ago. And then Michael Cox has also mentioned this either on the Athletic or in his book Zonal Marking. I'm guessing the video creator most likely got it from Michael Cox and then a deep dive. Or there's been things in the media recently how Zidane could of gone to Blackburn or Newcastle. And then there the story of how Yanited were interested in him at Euro 96 where he had a stinker of a tournament and that cooled their interest and it came out that Fergie pulled the plug as he didnt want to upset Cantona. Tbf to Zidane he basically played from July 1st 95 all the way around to June 26th 96.
I was more a Djorkaeff fan and Michael Laudrup was the better playmaker than him. I'll await for some idiot to quote this and they ask you don't rate Zidane? Which I havent said I just prefer other players.
...But that whole decade between those two was just sheer Magisterial Magic....... 
. this twat had me foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.... 
maaaaam these cats don't know the types of players we had then..... maybe it is the mix of at that time being a youngn' and nostalgia reminiscing now, but thise were great times..
...... nowadays I'm always ending up at These Football Times basking in the old days...
and I ain't even touch on you mentioning Djorkaeff....
Was watching Ligue 1 instead. Was it that disjointed?Dembouz is such a frustrating player. Looks B’dor levels in one game, looks trash the other.
Also, I’ve seen enough…Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo ain’t gonna work. They gonna have to drop either Vini or Mbappe![]()
