Zidane overall, though right now I'd take Ronaldinho without a doubt.
Might have a different opinion after the world cup.

Zizou or Gaucho?

Zidane.... ZZ was and still is a great player
The thing that sways it for me, is that Ronaldinho, despite his skill & tricks, allways appears to be 'trying' to do the tricks. Where as Zidene allways looks like he cant be bothered, does the same thing as Ronaldinho and still makes it look second nature.

Pssibly, but ronnys game is based around speed, which he will lose as he gets older. I doubt ronny will be as good as zidane is now once ronny gets to his age (does that make sense?!?!).[ASSE]Hinchy said:

Me and you against the rest.
Zidane was on another level to everyone else, and to a point still is. I have not seen any player in my time to have such connection with the ball, knowing how the ball feels and sticks to his feet leaving players for dead. His flair cannot be beaten. I would not Put Ronnie in his category at all. Yes, neat tricks, but its just different if you know what i mean.
For me though, I would have Kaka over Ronaldinho any day.

The point needed to be added that he could do all this whilst holding off and beating 2 or 3 defenders. Even when he was getting buffetted about he still had ultimate control. His style i think is possibly unique in the sense that his skill and trickery did not involve running past people and his strength gave him a side to his game that other creative players such as ronaldinho, ronaldo even maradonna did not have.
Ye your right, ronaldinho has to use a lot of energy to beat players - which is nice to see but in terms of being an athlete Zidane uses so little energy he just jogs forward tricks the defenders goes past them with ease.
I cant think of anyone like that at all except maybe george best sometimes - but he uses a lot of energy sometimes as well its hard to say with these old clips

Didnt Zidane win some Uefa award a few years ago where he was voted the best player ever or something like that?

I thought it was for the best French player ever by the French FA or something? I know what you mean though, there was definitely something.

Ok pretty to look at both of them outrageously taleted, but ronaldiho is more effective in a game.
Lets split this thread into 2. Best effective player and best player to watch with a football.
Ronaldiho and zidane are on the list but suddenly Henry and gerrard kaka etc... join in. Who would you rather have in your team. I'm willing to bet gerrard and henry have bigger effects on games that those 2 do.
