10 greatest dribblers in the history of football

#7 Zinedine Zidane

If there was anyone who got the closest to reaching the heights of Pele and Maradona, it was Zinedine Zidane. The Frenchman led his side to two World Cup finals, winning one in 1998, and also the Euro championship in 2000.

"Zizou" was the embodiment of panache and calm brilliance on the football field. Unlike many others Zidane didn’t have explosive pace, but his subtle touches and ankle breaking spins at the centre of the pitch lent control to proceedings that his teams needed to succeed.

He was the best, the quickest and the wittiest in the small spaces that the centre of the midfield affords, and he always had time to play the perfect ball to the forward moving into space.

In his time with the French national team and even during his time at Real Madrid, Zidane became the coherent factor that lead the “Galacticos” to major silverware for four straight years under Vincente Del Bosque.
