Zidane
Zinedine Yazid Zidane (
Arabic: زين الدين زيدان
transliteration: Zīn ad-Dīn Zīdān), (born
June 23,
1972), popularly nicknamed Zizou, is a former French
football player of
Kabyle Algerian descent who starred for both the
French national team and for four club teams, most recently
Real Madrid. Zidane is often considered to be the best footballer of his generation,
[2] and one of the greatest of all time. A midfielder, his elegant dribbling, balance, passing ability, shot accuracy, shot selection and well placed free kicks have made him one of the game's finest artists and the natural successor of
Michel Platini as France's top playmaker. Zidane received international attention with his two headed goals in the 1998 World Cup final against
Brazil that essentially won his country's first ever title. His storied career, however, ended when he was sent off for
headbutting Italy's
Marco Materazzi in the
2006 World Cup Final. Even so, he won another Golden Ball award for best player of the tournament.
