you can just see Messi is honestly kinda flustered

and when he's gonna be in Zidanes position hes gonna be just as much of an inspiritaion to the players playing then

I’m sure there’s some nostalgia informing my feelings here but for me the mid 2010s were my favorite time being a football fan because it was like… just before Pep/Klopp came into the Premier League and completely changed the footballing meta.

The days of the no. 10 who was a bit of a luxury player are past us

I know what you are saying and I'm sure it's a thing in gaming, but "footballing meta" just sounds so off. And because not all people know specific terms from other hobbies, I don't quite using them out of their context.

When Zidane calls Ronaldo now, it will directly go to his voicemail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Every photo of Ronaldo and Zidane constantly look like they’re trying not to kiss each other so don’t think he’d be too worried

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I dread the day when the genius that is Lionel Messi will retire. Football won’t be the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The whole interview was great. As someone who idolized Zidane both as a player and as a coach that was amazing. Two of the absolute best discussing football is something I can't get bored watching ever. It's great to see the amount of respect they both have for one another. That was a great interview. I would love to see one with these two + Ronaldo if he could just be nice, so I can enjoy their conversation about football. Maybe in a few years when he mellows down, but I do understand his competitiveness.

The entire conversation was so fascinating. I don’t think I’ve heard Messi talk other than short match interviews.

I remember watching a Messi interview where he showed Zidane jersey hanging on his wall at home. Very cool 👍🏼

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So i saw the whole video at the end these guys exchange there world cup jersey's. While Zidane was signing and writing a message on his jersey, Messi was mesmerized seeing it and and said "What a shirt!".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bruh..he can make position 0.325 work and I dont even know what that is...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That conversation hade me smiling for the whole 29 minutes.

Leo morphing slowly into zuckerberg

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very subtle, but massive props to whoever was in charge of both men's wardrobes

Messi wearing a shirt with the modern three stripe logo, and the Messi logo while Zidane wearing the classic Adidas logo, I'm pretty convinced this isn't coincidental

Two very different generations, two absolute legends

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just a sec ahead ... but you were 3 seconds ahead of the rest.

man GOD really does exist. its FUCKING MESSI. THE GREIGHTEST!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How on earth do the mods allow this facebook level crap?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Zidane's idol Francescoli. Leo's idol Aimar. Always River.

Leo may not say it, but the way he speaks about that era of River, he clearly reaaaally liked River as a kid.

there's something about Messi's voice that make him sound so innocent, i can't explain it but he seems like he would still be nice honest man even without the success

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two of the greatest players to play the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Come to think of it, most of my favorite players were a No.10, messi, Ozil, cesc, Kaka… kinda sad that the position died

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Greatest Barca player of all-time meets greatest real madrid player of all-time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Top 5 for sure but Di Stefano, Puskas, Cristiano made a bigger impact

Every thing that came out of this interview was great

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Talking about the number 10 like they are the last of the Jedis.

Teach us the way of the 10.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Two people with absolutely nothing left to prove on the pitch

lol Messi said about the number 10 and what it represents "We all believed we were the different player, even though we weren't." I think with these two it's pretty safe to say that they were.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it's nice to see such legends be so humble though. as good as they were, without the other 10 players on the pitch (and oh boy, there were some names) they wouldn't achieve the heights they did

"Scoring a goal in the World Cup final is the best thing ever, right? Both of us can say that"

Game Recognizes Game

My favorite quote in the interview is “Scoring a goal in the World Cup final is the best thing ever,right? Both of us can say that”

But I was told the world cup was a 7 game tournament 😭

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Zidane scored in two finals as well… Not many can say they did.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think there's more nuance to the 7 game tournament thing.

Realistically, the World Cup needs to be fit into a period of 2-3 weeks for logistical and tv rights reasons. And as well, a single elimination tournament format is not the best way to judge the quality of a team. There are a lot of ways the format is a poorer judge of the question "which country is best at soccer" than, for example, a more traditional league format would be.

Another example is that giant slaying is fun in single elimination domestic cups, but the first division is always a better indication of team quality.

None of this takes away from winning the trophy.

Ronaldo's comment on the video "🥲🥲🥲🥲"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

😔👎not my manager

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, CR10 famously played in the 10 position and always wore the 10 jersey.
