Zidane Reveals Ronaldo as the Best Teammate He’s Ever Played With
Zinedine Zidane, the legendary French midfielder, has praised his former teammate, Ronaldo, as the best player he’s ever had the pleasure of playing with. The two icons combined forces at Real Madrid between 2002 and 2006, and their partnership on the pitch was nothing short of magic.
According to Zidane, Ronaldo’s incredible skills and speed made him almost unstoppable. "When he decided to express himself with the ball, he did whatever he wanted," Zidane said in an interview with Goal. "Technically, no player has impressed me more than Ronaldo. There was no system or tactics that could stop him. It’s like that with a few players, and he was one of them – he was fast and skilled."
The Brazilian superstar, known as Ronaldo Nazario, was a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. He scored 295 goals in 453 club matches during his career, which included spells at Madrid, AC Milan, and Barcelona. Internationally, Ronaldo remains one of Brazil’s best players, with 62 goals in 99 appearances and two World Cup titles in 1994 and 2002.
Zidane, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, has played alongside some of the best players in the world, including Luis Figo, Raul, and David Beckham. But even among such a talented group, Ronaldo stood out as a unique talent. "I’ve always seen Ronaldo as the best because I played and trained with him," Zidane said. "He’s probably the best I ever played with."
The partnership between Zidane and Ronaldo was a key factor in Real Madrid’s success during their time together at the club. The duo combined for 31 goals in 140 matches, leading the team to numerous trophies and accolades.
Ronaldo’s impressive career and Zidane’s glowing endorsement are a testament to the Brazilian’s status as one of the all-time greats. And for fans of football, it’s a reminder of the magic that can happen when two of the sport’s greatest talents come together on the pitch.
