Zinedine Zidane wasn't just a footballer.

He was an experience.
11

Zidane is like he has been touched by the angels in his bed when he was a kid,
13
you know, and everything he does is successful.
14
He came to do things that many people expected to do,

I was blessed.
18
I faced him in nationality in France,
19
he was a headache all the time.
20
He was beautiful to watch,

someone who just looks so elegant as a footballer, like a ballerina.

Artist.
29
He was just off the scale in terms of ability and not the way it's almost like it's just on a string.
30
The ball is on a string when he plays.
31
It's always within a certain area,
32
a certain distance of him.
33
When he runs it's almost like it's part of his body.
34
It was just.. and if you pass him the ball and he wanted to turn on a certain angle,
35
he could just manipulate a ball and do it all in one movement just amazingly well.
36
Strong, quick off the mark.
37
You tried to get near him and his arm would come out.
38
He'd push you away and burst out.
39
He was 10 yards away from you.
40
He was really, really good.
41
Top, you know, top class.
42
My best memory, I played a long pass to him from possibly 50 yards.
43
And the pass was good,
44
but then he just volleyed the ball with his left foot straight into the goal.
45
I remember looking at the people in the stadium and going like that.
46
Every time he was coming close to him, the ball was gone.
47
I couldn't get the ball off him.
48
He was massive.
49
He was physically strong, obviously technically good, mentality good.
50
It was the biggest surprise I've ever had on a football pitch.
51
I actually wasn't even on the football pitch, lining up.
52
We were lining up to go against him against Juventus.
53
And I just stood next to him, he was just massive.
54
I just thought, you'd see him on the telly and you just thought he wasn't that big.
55
He wasn't an over-physical player,
56
but he just used his body in the right way.
57
He couldn't get the ball off him.
58
When I was playing first time against Cezo in midfield,
59
he got the ball, he made a movement before and then the ball was literally like two meters there,
60
his body there.
61
I was here, there was no chance to take away the ball actually.
62
I don't think I've played against anybody like Zidane,
63
like you say, who gets their body between you and the ball as perfectly.
64
And the timing of it and then the motion,
65
the way you played, it was like it's impossible almost to find the ball
66
and see the ball because he was a big guy at all.
67
Honestly, people still to this day don't really know how big he was.
68
When I played against him,
69
I'm quite a small guy.
70
I'm 5'10".
71
I'm really sly.
72
People might think, maybe I look bigger on the pitch.
73
The advice I would get from my friends in Ireland would be,
74
the technical advice they would give me is, just kick him.
75
He's 6'2".
76
You can deal with that.
77
I remember the mind, he said to me once,
78
the first game I played against him,
79
he said, he's past it,
80
he's too old now, get against him, run off him.
81
I mean I thought right well I'm gonna outrun you.
82
He beat me in a race
83
And then I'm gonna I'm just gonna get against him tackling it just elbowed me out the way
84
and then they got the ball It was just like a genius Zidane is like Paris without the effort out.
85
You know when he when he retired I remember I said to
86
You weren't that good guys
87
And they get opened it all like we've all did on you are nobody
88
because that over the class like is he can twist He has like some flexible and touch,
89
what a player.
90
Anyway, he's running the show and it gets to a point where it's like,
91
come on, we've got to put something about him.
92
Me and Stevie kind of give each other a little nod, let's smash him.
93
Ed Scott, he's got the ball in the middle of the park.
94
I've come in from one side to try and smash him.
95
He's done this mad little turn, I've missed him.
96
And then Stevie's come in to do it and hasn't Stevie's job,
97
he's skipped over him.
98
So me and Steve are kind of bow on the floor looking at each other and he's still got the ball.
99
And it's just like, oh this fella!
100
Honestly, it was incredible.
101
I loved him anyway, but I loved him even more.
102
What a player.
103
I've played against him a lot of times.
104
It's very difficult to play against someone you can't get the ball off.
105
You never know where it is and to have played with somebody like that would have been great.
106
He's won the World Cup, he's won everything.
107
He's played in that unbelievable Madrid team, unbelievable Juventus team.
108
If I had to choose somebody, it would be him.
109
You know, I don't know,
110
in France we don't have a more word for him,
111
because we said everything.
112
For me, he's one of the best players in the world.
113
He's a genius, he's a magician,
114
he plays for the team,
115
he plays simple, and the vision, it was amazing.
116
He's not just one of the greatest players that I've ever played with,
117
one of the hardest trainers and also just caught, you know, without trying.
118
You play him a ball anywhere on the pitch,
119
any height, any level, any speed,
120
he'd bring it down like it was just one of those things that he does.
121
People literally used to turn up at the Bernabeu to watch him just control the ball.
122
It's like watching a ballerina.
123
Just the way he plays is so elegant.
124
Everything about him is elegant.
125
He's got a different aura, hasn't he?
126
Yeah.
127
He ain't even talking a lot either,
128
he doesn't say much, does he?
129
He's just like almost like,
130
can I talk to him?
131
And that's when you know he's so special,
132
ZZU, because he walks into a room and without even seeing him come in,
133
you know someone's walked in.
134
He's not the most vocal person, but he's smart.
135
He's smart.
136
He's making everybody's a better player.
137
I was amazed by his quality,
138
by his vision, by his technical ability,
139
football understanding, and for us to play just behind him,
140
it was easy to play with him.
141
The quality of the ball,
142
he feels like it's not a good ball,
143
but he will look good because of the way that he will touch the ball.
144
He is the greatest.
145
And when he was about to score that goal,
146
I was on the pitch already.
147
And I was behind him on the center line.
148
And I was seeing Roberto Carlos sprinting on the left and getting the ball to Zidane.
149
And the moment Zidane was preparing to shoot like this,
150
which is you know already,
151
you want to upload a goal like this?
152
On the pitch?
153
It's not possible.
154
But in my mind I was like, this is unbelievable.
155
He came out of retirement to help France qualify for this World Cup.
156
That game everybody mentioned 2006 against Brazil.
157
The first touch when he received the ball,
158
I think he was back to their goal.
159
So he put his soul on the ball and then the guys tried to close on him.
160
And then he turned it and he stopped doing those things like you're like,
161
you know, this is the beginning of the game,
162
you're looking for challenge and everything.
163
Everything is like he wants to take your confidence away from you and the very very high pressure
164
It's like they reveal them said he done in the big game you're on about new euros
165
He's on the big club matches eternal
166
the day before his last game at the burn about
167
and We was in the changing room downstairs And it was only me
168
and him and he come up to me and sat next to me
169
and he said I just want to say thank you
170
and it was it was an honor to play with you for three years and I was like
171
for him to say that to me was was one of the biggest moments in my life
172
and in my career For me,
173
he is one of the biggest ones in history.

He was a different player, elegant, art, magic, everything.
177
Even like geniuses like him, they are very disciplined.
178

179
The only thing I can see then,
180
not only was he a great player,
181
but he was a great man.
182

183
but the world of football will miss him.
184

Quando pratichi usando il video, cerca di seguire il ritmo delle conversazioni. La velocità degli speaker può variare, ma molti momenti riflettono un tono emozionante e appassionato, perfetto per esercitarsi nel shadow speech. Ecco alcuni suggerimenti utili:
- Ascolta attentamente: Prima di iniziare a ripetere, ascolta il video senza interruzioni per capire il contesto e le emozioni espresse.
- Ripeti in tempo: Usa la tecnica del shadowspeak, cercando di imitare non solo le parole ma anche il tono e l'intensità degli speaker. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese in modo naturale.
- Fermati e riascolta: Dopo aver provato a ripetere, torna indietro e ascolta di nuovo le frasi che ti hanno dato più difficoltà. Ripetile fino a sentirti sicuro.

Incorporando questi passi nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, riuscirai non solo a migliorare le tue abilità linguistiche, ma anche ad apprezzare la bellezza dell'inglese attraverso l'arte del calcio e le emozioni che trasmette.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
