Baggio IMO shyts all over Zidane in everything! Being a gentleman included

I honestly think you shouldn't have opened this though, because soon this place will be infested with frenchies and people with a Zidane fetish :rollani:

I have no interest in this thread, but just state your opinion and shut the **** up.

Thanks.

 

He did state his opinion tho p

Backing up the previous post, Marlo said:
a) IMO and
b) I think ...

and Marlo is a frequent poster here, so be a bit more respectful.

 

I know he stated his opinion, hence "state your opinion and...".

There's no need for him to talk about this thread becoming "infested with frenchies and people with a Zidane fetish", as if the notion of Zidane being a better, more complete footballer (which he clearly is) can be deemed somewhat ridiculous.

 

Bit itchy to close this mundane thread. Really, whats the point? Most would'nt really be interested in a boring and typical comparison topic...and the ones who would are people who have already made up their mind and would only post to belittle or insult others.

 

Sall good man chill. Obviously here in the Italian forum we're/some are gonna be believe that Roberto is better. Personally Football skill wise their pretty equal. We shouldnt diminish each of their own legacies in the footballing world.

EDIT: Was beaten to th punch

 

Well, that's why I said football skill aside, I didn't phrase it well I guess, what I meant was "Who was the classier, cleaner player" and obviously we know who wins that one.

 

I think Zidane is likely the better player in both the NT and club level, much as I like Roby. Though Baggio played farther up than Zizou in general.

As far as grace and class, Baggio was surely a gentelman of the sport, which Zidane doesn't even have a shot at being in since his ****ups were countless, and Baggio's charisma is unrivaled.

 

I think that it is fair to say that Bernmilan1 is absolutely correct.

Zidane is by far the better player, not only in his skills but in his impact on the game and his legacy. Also trophies, esp. on the interntional level.

But one thing that Baggio does have going for him is the fact that his persona and character is rivaled by no one and Zidane's own pales in comparison. I think that is a fair assessment.

Relax fetishist p

Okay, I shouldn't have said the whole ''infested with frenchies and people with a Zidane fetish'' sorry if i offended you or anyone else

As for Zidane being the better player, he has more championships and personal accolades I'll give him that much

 

marlo zizoou was a better player..zidane was one of the best of alltime....sad to say..hate the guy..loved him at juve..but baggio wasnt quite as good..but i agree a better sportsman ..one of the top professionals ever to grace this game.

god its good to not be bias these days.

I know Zidane was great (and yes i hate the bastard) but when i said ''shyts all over Zidane in everything'' I meant him as a person on and off the field etc, not only on the field, where it's much closer in terms of whos the better player

 

Baggio is one of the most talented players I have ever seen. Zidane won everything he bothered to play in. They were both great and I'll leave it there.

 

I won't say much as it is already stated that I would sound biased and I do agree on that statement.

I have never admired a player as much as Zizou. The fact he is french obviously matters but, even trying to be unbiased (as hard as it is), I come to the conclusion he is undoutedly one of the top 5 players to ever grace a football field.

Baggio was a great player but, for me, there is a gap between them as football players.

Zizou is a legend for every football fans in the world.
Baggio is a great player and surely a legend for Italy.

And the rest of the world.

I meant not as legendary as Zizou. That is just my opinion.

I wouldnt say it so much... Baggio was nominated World Player of the Year in 1993 and Baggio also almost single handedly took Italy to a WC Final (unfortunate that he is remembered for his penalty miss in that)

Baggio is a legend for one generation... Zidane is a legend for this past generation which is why it seems he is remembered so much more than Baggio when realistically he was the best player in the world at one point a decade and a half ago.

 

The two can be compared which is already something.
Few can be compared to Zidane. Baggio is one. But there is not that much of a debate on who the winner is IMO.

I still don't know how Zidane kept surprising me, bluff me, with his display from Early 93 to July 2006. Always amazed.

I agree, Zidane lead a nation to world cup glory.
Baggio was one spot kick away.

But if you consider charisma in the foundation of a legend (not to mention keeping your damn cool when it is an absolute must, one of the truest expressions of professionalism), Baggio is not nearly as far away from Zidane as you would think.

And lets not forget that Zizou was unwatchable in his last days in Madrid until he played against Spain in his 4th game of the world cup. Its not like he was always that great in the end. But thats what WC's do, they make you bipass these little things. Enough to earn R9 and unfair world player of the year in 02 as well.

I think Zidane was the better player on a more historical note (He won 2 trophies with France and a CL, Baggio didnt do this).

However Baggio was something extraodinary to watch, IMO a better player to watch live than Zidane despite the elegance of Zidane... I think you are right, Zidane was the better player in the end, but for me to watch Baggio play was just magnificent.

 

Stuff that constitutes a legend to me is:
Not telling anyone where you go. Go to Japan and find yourself through buddhism. (well I am not into finding myself, whatever)
Come back and tell Mazzone you are playing, and you don't care what he thinks. Mazzone accepting it.
Then score 2 goals. Mazzone stupito, but not really.

Legend as they come

 

Zidane is better no doubt

 

Zidane won more titles, but Baggio did far more with far less as a player, and I'd chose Roby over Zidane. Roberto scored more than 200 SERIE A goals, plus his creation level was immense playing from deep or as a striker. In terms of individual talent, Zidane was great, but Roby was the craftiest player ever, did more in Serie A at the league's height and continued much deeper into his career, continually scoring in double figures. I consider his single-handedly keeping Brescia in Serie A for four consecutive years among the most incredible achievements ever. Never forget it. Anyway, giving Zidane the edge because of what France achieved as a team compared to what Italy did with Baggio is wrong. In terms of individual raw talent, I go with the Divine Ponytail.
Plus, Zidane's violent freak out sessions don't help his cause. Just as one said Baggio is one spot kick away, I believe Zidane was one headbutt away. And his refusal to meet with matrix is baby stuff. Yes, class counts for more than something, and Roby has loads of it.

 

zidane is much btetter that is all there is to say.
