The thing about 'Zidane's words' makes me laugh. It's like how so many people think Johan Cruyff must be right about everything cos he was such a great player. The fact that he said Van Basten had his tactics all wrong before Holland demolished Italy 3-0 says it all. And I remember back in 98 I think it was he said that Pablo Aimar would be the best player in the world soon. And while he was pretty decent, he was never in any danger of being that good.
