I must say i am disappointed by Zidane.
Some say he is a hothead. While it is true that he has a temper, I think that football-wise he's one of the calmest players. He doesn't rush for a goal, he carefully plans it and holds the ball back in order to strike at the right moment.
I think I shared the huge deception that most french people suffered when they saw Zinedine take down Matzeratti. That such a genius of football would end his great carreer like that...truly saddening
And then, one has to wonder..would things have been different in the PK shootouts if Zidane was one of the kickers?
One thing that shoul've been changed is the presence of Barthez..he's been fucking up during the whole tournament, and undoubtedly is the weakest player of the team. I hope he retires.
The team is full of fresh recruits, though of which my favorites are Ribery and Sagnol. Now I'm waiting to see how they'll do during the Euro Cup.
