Zinedine Zidane - The Perfect Player by LKN

Zidane is one of the greatest players in history, a truly magnificent player.
He was the magician in the game.

Technically, I think he is the king of what's fundamental in the game — control and passing. I don't think anyone can match him when it comes to controlling or receiving the ball. ~Michel Platini


Zinedine Zidane is born in France on the 23rd of June in 1972. His parents of Algerian descent have a total of five children. As a kid, school is not his strongest asset so he turns to football. By the age of 16, a scout by the name of Jean Varraud recruits the youngster to Cannes. One year later, Zizou makes his debut with the club's senior squad in the French First Division. He is signed by Bordeaux in 1992. With his new club, Zidane reaches the UEFA Cup final in 1995/96 and attracts the attention of European powerhouse Juventus. After his move to Italy, trophies start to to pour in. By 1996, Ziziou had the UEFA Cup, the European Supercup and the Intercontinental Cup under his belt. He also won the Italian Calcio twice in a row during 1997 and 1998. In the same two seasons, his club manages to reach the Champions League final twice.
When Real Madrid purchases Zinedine Zidane in the summer of 2001, he becomes the most expensive player of all time. The Spanish club paid a whopping $66 Million for his transfer. In the 2001/02 season, the Frenchman leads Real Madrid to Champions League glory by scoring a spectacular winning goal in the final.


In international competition, Zidane enters the spotlight after carrying his national team to their first World Cup title in 1998. He eventually helps them win their second European title in EURO 2000.
At World Cup 2002, France is eliminated in the first stage. Zizou struggles with an injury at the time and watches most games from the sideline. Two years later at EURO 2004, Zidane's country fails to impress again and is knocked out by tournament surprise Greece. Zidane retires from international football, but returns again in the wake of World Cup 2006.
Individually, Zinedine Zidane has been given every major award that a player can achieve. He has won the precious Balon D'Or in 1998 and the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 1998, 2000 and 2003.
Currently, Zinedine Zidane is one of the most skillful and technically gifted players in the game. He can settle and distribute almost any pass thrown in his direction. In individual encounters, Zidane prefers to shield the ball and dribble away from pressure. His style is not flashy, but rather simple and elegant. Zidane can apply his playmaking skills in any circumstance and make it look effortless.

Greatest player ever, I just hope Steven Gerrard, who Zidane himself praises can get out his best the next years to come, only then Zidane will have an opponent to be the best player through all time. Forget Maradonna or Pelé, Zinedine Zidane is the greatest.. Great movie! It hurts everytime to see the knockout on Materazzi, that stupid italian deserved it, but Zidane didn't deserve that kind of an ending of a FANTASTIC career!

Według mnie najlepszy piłkarz na świecie kiedykolwiek, niewielu potrafiło okiwać 5 czasem nawet 6! Piłkarzy przy jednej akcji na raz!...

Żywa legenda, mój ulubiony piłkarz nawet teraz... gdy inni się jarali Eto, Ronaldinho czy C.R ja zawsze byłem wierny Zizou :)
