Zidane and Edgar Davis are one and the same, and can effectively complement each other in the game. Edgar Davis has always admired Zidane's exquisite and elegant technique, and Zidane has always thanked Edgar Davis for creating a stage for him to unleash his talents. Will Sharp, author of thesefootballtimes, tells the story of Zidane's connection with Edgar Davis.
Zidane is a player with magic who can easily skim through every area as if he were suspended on the pitch. He is like a dancer, dancing lightly on the court with a ballet posture combined with the confidence of the Gauls. His performance is unrestrained, able to control the ball with any part of his body, and the ball is at his feet, with a clear goal, and every step of his movement has a clear intention.
The high hopes of clubs and teams did not restrain Zidane, who was still able to walk idly in the game. His seemingly light passing is able to sharply tear apart the opponent's defense. Sometimes, Zidane also plays in a more authoritative way, he will rush in front of his midfield teammates, unload the ball from the sky, or seize the opportunity to attack and directly threaten the opposing goalkeeper. And sometimes, Zidane will have another completely different way to explode his ability, perhaps "not to erupt in silence, just to perish in silence", the moment Zidane's emotions erupt, violent acts will also appear.
Zidane, he is the gunpowder in the gorgeous glass bottle.
Compared to other players of his generation, Zidane's performance in the game is more inspiring for young players to join the ranks of beautiful football. Zidane not only showed his spirit of never giving up in the competition, but also made everyone fascinated by his "simple and simple" performance.
Zidane, at his peak, is the embodiment of elegant football. He is unique and cannot be copied.
During his five years at Juventus, Zidane's four seasons with Edgar Davis were even more impressive. They are one yin and one yang, and they fit together perfectly. Perhaps if Zidane were to choose his partner again, he would vote for Edgar Davis.
If Zidane is a flower that needs to be probed to find spikes, then Edgar Davis is a thorn, covered with spikes. Because of Edgar Davis's tenacious determination and his aggressive style of play, Van Gaal once gave him the nickname "Bull Terrier". Edgar Davis, who had honed his skills in Amsterdam in his early years, was able to win any confrontation in an "ugly" way with his strong physical qualities. His style of play goes some way to explaining several other nicknames in Edgar Davis' career that have been named after animals: piranhas and sharks. A low pass, a single touch, he can tear you to pieces.
Still, if you think of Edgar Davis as a purely wild player, a complete beast, then you certainly haven't seen him play. Edgar Davis's skills are exemplary for midfielders, and his performances are by no means replicable from the average player with a bit of fortitude. Edgar Davis was not only able to snatch the ball from the feet of his opponent, but also control the ball. He has an unwavering confidence in his abilities, he can break through the opponent's defenses with beautiful passes, he can fire cannons from a distance and threaten the opposing goalkeeper. Edgar Davis is extremely creative and adaptable.
Zidane became a member of Juventus after a successful time in Cannes and Bordeaux. Despite Zidane's title of Ligue 1 Player of the Year at the time, there were still rumors that some English teams had passed up the opportunity to sign him, and then European champions Juventus signed the future top superstar for an incredible £3.2 million. Zidane, 24, landed in Italy and quickly showed his enormous potential, making everyone aware that the Future of the French midfielder was immeasurable.
At the same time, Edgar Davis, who played for Milan for a year, also found his own place at Juventus. Speaking of which, Edgar Davis made his mark in the Netherlands before moving to Italy, where he won a string of titles with Ajax, including three Eredivisie titles and a Champions League title.
At Juventus, Zidane and Edgar Davies became the best midfield combination in the history of the team under the "matchmaking" of head coach Lippi. They are the core and soul of the team, constantly leading the team forward.
The fates of zidane and Edgar Davis, a midfield duo, are also "synchronized". They're on the same track, and they match more than any combination. Juventus' Champions League group stage against Hamburg in late October 2000 was a good testament to this. Just four minutes into the opening of the first half, Juventus received two red cards: Zidane and Edgar Davis were both sent off. The former received a red card for a foul against Kents, while Edgar Davis received two yellow cards at breakneck speed. Together, they helped the team win the game, and when the team lost, they became the "sinners" of the team together.
As a defensive barrier for the team's midfield, Edgar Davis did all the dirty work and did a good job. Although Edgar Davis is not a "meat grinder", his tough style of play will always plunge opponents into a "boundless sea of bitterness". As his opponent's passion and energy were drained little by little, Edgar Davis managed to clear the way, creating an opportunity for Zidane to play a gorgeous movement at will.
In an interview with 442, when Edgar Davis was asked what the key points of working with Zidane were, he replied: "It's a matter of trust and energy. If you have that connection with someone, then you know what to expect. It's a feeling that our understanding of football is the same. Zidane, like Edgar Davis, is constantly "flaunting" their connection to each other, and their connection even transcends national borders.
At Euro 2000 in the Netherlands, Edgar Davis welcomed his Juventus teammate Zidane on his doorstep. Ahead of the Dutch-France match, Edgar Davis publicly praised his clubmates: "Just watching Zidane play can inspire me. He is one of the best players in the world. One second he thinks, the next he can realize his own ideas. He is a unique player, a player with outstanding creativity, a player who is different. He was able to create space where there was no room for offense. Only the best players can do that. No matter where he gets the ball, or no matter how it falls to his feet, he's able to get out of trouble. His imagination and skill are amazing. ”
Edgar Davis has always praised Zidane's work, and Zidane seems to have always been grateful to Edgar Davis for being able to sweep everything for him and provide him with a stage where he can show his talents to the fullest.
Juventus at that time not only had the outstanding midfield combination of Zidane and Edgar Davis, but also Ferrara, who was professional and conscious, Conte, and Piero, who had rare ability and elegant performance. Although their performance in European competition was not ideal at the time, they definitely made great strides in Serie A.
Even if the sky over Turin was full of stars at that time, Zidane and Edgar Davis would be the brightest stars.
Of course, both players also have their own shortcomings. Edgar Davis is in good physical condition, but glaucoma forces him to wear goggles during the game – a look that also makes it easy for fans to recognize him. As for Zidane, his impenetrable temper occasionally became a powder keg.
But these factors only further highlight the excellent qualities of these two players. Because they remind fans who watched the game that despite convincing evidence from Zidane and Edgar Davis, the two players were just ordinary people. Their dazzling performances in the game are done by the flesh, not the machine.
At the end of the story, of course, Zidane has greater ambitions, leaving Juventus, leaving his Dutch partner, and heading to Madrid for greater success. Zidane was there, continuing his flamboyant performances, and he continued his legend at the Bernabeu, proving himself to be one of the most talented players of all time.
As for Edgar Davis, he left his mark on Barcelona, Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace, even Barnett, after leaving Juventus. In these places, however, he has not been able to regain his magic at Juventus 100%, but in any case, he has left his name in the elite halls of football history.
