3 août Zidane and the world cup's best playersBecause his reaction was so violent, so spectacular and so clear to see, everyone's last image of Zinedine Zidane is inevitably going to be his head-butt and sending off in the final. What he did had such enormous repercussion that it is inevitable for people to be talking about it. Inevitable but sad. Zidane is one of the greats and had an excellent world cup.
That said, I wouldn’t have him down as the tournament's best player. My favourites were Juan Roman Riquelme and Patrick Vieira.
Vieira was the real motor behind France; it was his drive that carried the team along. They didn't expect to get to the final and I think the fact that they surprised themselves owed more to Vieira than any other individual player.
Although Argentina were knocked out quite early, I love watching Riquelme and I felt that, yet again, everything that Argentina did came through him. Look at the chances they created and almost all of them began at his feet,. He was the one that sparked all of their attacks, who literally got the ball rolling. He is the man who creates Argentina's football. I love to watch players who really play football, who made it all happen - and none do so more than him. It was a real shame that he did not get to prove himself later in the tournament. RétroliensBlogs Web qui font référence à ce billet
