Zidane - A 21st Century Portrait (DVD)

Undoubtedly one of the true greats of football a player who could turn a match, light up the stadium with a touch of magic or a trick. Why then make a film which follows the player in close up when he is definitely past his best imminently retiring from football showing his bald pate, expressionless sunken eyes, sweaty face, grunting managing only a few tricks in his own half unable to run past defenders in a meaningful position playing in probably the slowest league drawing fouls, diving. I would rather watch this if the dvd was renamed Christiano Ronaldo a player who recently scored a hatrick and a fantatastic freekick and I am not even a Man U fan but he is a player who all fans like to watch someone whom you know you can't take your eyes off because you don't know what he will do next capable of scoring goals most strikers would only dream of.......Could only manage 16 mins then fast forward through the rest to the last few mins......


I think this shows what a nightmare being the manager must have been with so many untouchables Beckham, Raul, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, all great players but long past their prime thankfully most have been swept out; it ain't good to overstay your welcome at a party.
