Zinédine Yazid Zidane is a world-famous football player. He is French, but Algerian by birth. He has marked the history of football. He is our favorite footballer in France; we call him “Zizou”.
His most important award was the 1998 World Cup. Unfortunately, I am too young to remember this event!
He has played for very important clubs like the Juventus Turin or Real Madrid.
He controversially head-butted
an Italian player during the 2006 World Cup final. This ended his eighteen-year career. He was 34, which is rather young to retire! However, he did not disappear...
He is quite clever because he uses his good reputation
among the French to support charities. The best known is ELA. He also takes part in charity matches with other
players.
The famous number 10 is very important in French
people's hearts. Zizou is a great symbol of integration; he is proof that France and Europe are welcoming to people from other parts of the world...
