Former French attacker Djibril Cisse called Zinedine Zidane the greatest footballer in history.
Sport.Biz reports that Cisse compared Zidane to basketball legend Michael Jordan.
"He was a little boy from the tough streets of Marseille. He came from a very difficult neighborhood - an environment that attracts many. It's not easy to become something big in life from such a start, but he did it. The world's best players don't just win matches - they influence lives. Zidane did it not with the personality of Ali, but with technical skill, a winning mindset, and elegance.
He never sat back and waited for a draw. He always saw an opportunity to attack and win, and with him, you always had a chance in the team. Moreover, his outstanding ability, amazing feints, and goal-scoring made many people around the world fall in love with French football. It was an honor to play with him in the national team. Like Jordan, he is the greatest in my opinion", - Cisse said.
