Zinedine Zidane, an eminent figure in football, has unveiled the name of the player who most captured his attention in terms of technical ability throughout his extraordinary career as a professional in the world of soccer. However, make no mistake, the former maestro of Real Madrid has not cast a shadow on the magnificent Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho, an undisputed master in his field.
On numerous occasions, Zinedine Zidane had the opportunity to face Ronaldinho, whether it was with the French national team or Real Madrid. The winner of the 1998 Ballon d’Or openly highlighted Ronaldinho’s extraordinary skills, but he made an unexpected choice by revealing that his former collaborator in the French national team, with whom he lifted the World Cup in 1998, is the one who impressed him the most in terms of technical ability. “Ronaldinho is an exceptional player, but Thierry Henry is probably the most gifted footballer in terms of technique to have played this beautiful game,” Zidane revealed in an interview.
Thierry Henry engraved his name in golden letters in the history of the Premier League, especially during the glorious era of Arsenal’s Invincibles. The former striker, who donned the colors of Barça and AS Monaco, scored no less than 360 goals during his career, including 175 in the Premier League, 50 in the Champions League, 35 in La Liga, and 20 in Ligue 1, to name just a few. His graceful playing style and his ability to influence the course of a match with a variety of technical talents undoubtedly captivated even a legendary talent like Zidane.
