Zinedine Yazid Zidane (often incorrectly spelled Zinédine, 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 players and the natural successor of Michel Platini as France's top playmaker. His precise control over the flow of the game and his ability to hold and protect the ball remain highly regarded.

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.

He has been elected FIFA World Player of the Year three times (1998, 2000, 2003), a record that has only been matched by Ronaldo, and once as European Footballer of the Year (1998). In 2004, Zidane was added to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living footballers selected by Pelé as part of FIFA's centenary celebrations.

As announced on 25 April 2006[3], Zidane retired from international football after the 2006 World Cup Final on 09 July 2006.

Club career

Zidane was born in Marseille, France and raised in La Castellane, a government-sponsored housing project (cité HLM) in the northern suburbs of Marseille (the "Quartiers Nord"). Though born in Marseille, Zidane has never played for Olympique de Marseille. Zidane got his start in football at an early age, when he joined the US Saint-Henri club. He moved on to Septemes Sports Olympiques after the coach convinced the director of the club to sign him. After leaving Septemes at the age of 14, Zidane participated in the first year junior selection for the league championship, the same year he was discovered. He was called in for 3 days at the sport regional centre in Aix-en-Provence, where Jean Varraud, Cannes' recruiter, noticed the French/Algerian player. He ventured off to Cannes for what was intended to be a six-week stay, but remained even longer. Playing with professionals at the age of 16, it would only be a matter of time when he too would turn pro. His time in the French league was spent with AS Cannes and Bordeaux until he was bought by Juventus for £3 million.

In 2001 Zidane transferred from Italian team Juventus to Spanish club side Real Madrid on a four-year contract. The transfer fee was €66 million, making him the most expensive player in football history. His fellow Galacticos at Madrid included David Beckham, Raúl González, Luís Figo, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos. He scored a spectacular winning goal in a 2-1 win over the German team Bayer Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 Champions League Final in Glasgow's Hampden Park.

On 7 May 2006, Zidane played his last home game for Real Madrid at the famous Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Real Madrid players wore a special jersey which had "ZIDANE 2001 - 2006" written on the bottom of the club logo. As expected, the Real Madrid fans gave him a warm reception and kept cheering him through the whole game. This game was played against Villarreal CF and, unfortunately for Zidane, the game ended in a 3-3 draw after Real Madrid came back from behind. Zidane scored the second goal for Real Madrid without any major celebration. Zidane exchanged his jersey with Juan Roman Riquelme, the Villarreal CF and Argentinian midfielder. At the end of the game, the Real Madrid fans said goodbye to Zidane with a massive ovation that left him in tears.

International career

Zidane has both French and Algerian citizenships, and therefore could have played for Algeria. However, the Algerian national coach Abdelhamid Kermali denied him a position on the team, arguing that the young midfielder was "not fast enough". Zidane received his first "Bleus" jersey on August 17, 1994, entering at the 63rd minute of a match against the Czech Republic. France was behind 2-0 when Zidane came to the pitch and subsequently scored two goals, which led to a 2-2 final result.

Zidane was a member of the French football team in the 1998 FIFA World Cup, scoring the first two goals, both on headers, in the final against Brazil, which ended in a 3-0 victory. This earned France its first World Cup championship and it was also the first time in 20 years that a host had won the tournament. During France's second match of the first round, he received a red card and a two-game suspension in a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia for stomping on Saudi Arabia's team captain Fuad Amin. Reports from people close to Zidane state that Amin had provoked him verbally. [4]

Two years later, Zidane and France won a second major championship, Euro 2000. He helped his team reach the final with inspired play and important goals, in quarterfinals against Spain — via direct free kick — and a golden goal penalty against Portugal in semifinals. His national team was ranked number one in the world after this victory, and this was the first time since West Germany in 1976 that a team held both the World Cup and Euro titles.

Injuries prevented him from performing at his best in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. France's defence of their title was spectacularly unsuccessful; the team was eliminated in the first round without scoring a single goal. Zidane rushed back from his injury in time to play in France's last game, but could not perform at his usual high level.[5]

On August 12, 2004, after France lost in Euro 2004 to the eventual winners, Greece, Zidane retired from international football.[6]

After France experienced serious problems in attempting to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Zidane announced on August 3, 2005 that he was coming out of international retirement. He stated on his official website: "I have gone back on my decision, one year after I said it was categorical." On the same day, French teammate midfielder Claude Makélélé, who also quit the French team following Euro 2004, said he wanted to come out of international retirement as well, and in the same week, Lilian Thuram made the same announcement.[7] The trio made their competitive return in the 3-0 FIFA World Cup qualifier win against the Faroe Islands on September 3, and France went on to win their qualifying group.[8]

On 25 April 2006, after an injury-plagued season at Real Madrid, Zidane announced that he would retire from professional football after representing France in the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals to be held in Germany.[9]

On May 27, 2006, Zidane earned his 100th cap for France with a 1-0 victory over Mexico at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris. It was his last match in the stadium and he became only the fourth Frenchman after Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps and Lilian Thuram to earn a hundred national caps. He was substituted early in the second half.[10]

2006 World Cup
This section documents a current event.
Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

In the closing minutes of France's second match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, against South Korea, Zidane was given a yellow card for running into a player late. As a result, he was suspended from the third and final match of the group stage.[11] France nonetheless beat Togo 2-0 allowing Zidane to play in the knockout stage.[12]

In the Round of 16 match against Spain on June 27, Zidane assisted on the second goal by sending a free kick in to the penalty area and scored a third during France's 3-1 victory. The win booked Zidane and France's date with defending champions Brazil in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

On 1 July, France beat favoured Brazil 1-0 in Frankfurt. Zidane provided the free-kick assist on Thierry Henry's winning goal, and was named Man of the Match by FIFA's Technical Study Group.[13]

On 5 July, France met Portugal in Munich for the semi-final. Zidane scored a penalty kick against Ricardo, which turned out to be the only goal of the game and saw France through to the final.

2006 World Cup Final

On July 9, 2006, Zidane played his second World Cup final match and scored in the seventh minute from the penalty spot with a chip shot that hit the crossbar, bounced behind the goal line and then left the goal. He became one of only four footballers to achieve the feat of scoring in two different World Cup final matches (he scored twice in the 1998 FIFA World Cup final), sharing the honour with Pelé, Paul Breitner, and Vavá. This goal made him also one of the top goalscorers in World Cup final matches, with 3 goals, tied for first place with Vavá, Geoff Hurst and Pelé. He almost scored a second goal with a header during the first period of extra time but his shot was saved by Gianluigi Buffon.

The controversy over the final game's misconduct

Zidane was sent off for violent conduct after headbutting Italy's defender, Marco Materazzi, in the chest in the 110th minute, after arguing over something while walking down the field. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and Italy won the championship after a penalty kick shootout.

Regarding the substance of the argument, Zidane's agent Alain Migliaccio said, "[Zidane] told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what."[14] He also told reporters that Zidane planned to speak out about the incident.[15]"

Several newspapers have had lipreaders try to interpret what Materazzi said, though they have come up with different interpretations. Broad consensus is that Materazzi spoke in Italian, a language understood by Zidane. Materazzi reportedly said: "Hold on, wait, that one's [referring to the pass] not for a feccia [i.e. '****', 'scum'] like you." Zidane reacted to Materazzi picking his shirt, and allegedly said that, if Materazzi really wanted to have his shirt, he could have it afterwards. Materazzi allegedly replied: "I'd rather take the shirt off your wife." As the players walked forward, he reportedly added: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." (referring to Zidane's Kabyle Algerian descent.) Just before the headbutt, he is seen saying: "Vaffanculo" (i.e. '**** off').[16] [17][18] [19]

Materazzi recounted the incident as follows: "I held his shirt for a few seconds only, then he turned to me and talked to me, jeering. He looked at me with a huge arrogance and said: 'If you really want my shirt, I'll give it to you afterwards'. I replied with an insult, that's true." He stressed that the insults were "the type [...] that we've heard before so many times on the pitch, and sometimes we don't even notice it".[20] He denied the accusation that the insult was racist in nature or that he called Zidane a "dirty terrorist", as well as rejecting claims that he had insulted Zidane's mother: "I certainly didn't talk about Zidane's mother because to me the mother is sacred". Zidane's mother had been taken ill to hospital hours before the World Cup final.[21] [22]

The day following the incident, July 10, 2006, Zidane was awarded the Golden Ball for being voted Best player in the 2006 World Cup by a poll of journalists covering the tournament. Zidane casted 2,012 votes, followed by Italy's Fabio Cannavaro (1,977 votes). Although the polling continued until midnight, most votes were cast during half-time, prior to Zidane being sent off.[23][24]

After returning to Paris, the team met with French President Jacques Chirac, who had also attended the game in Berlin. Chirac hailed Zidane as a national hero and proclaimed: "You are a virtuoso, a genius of world football" He added:"You are also a man of heart and conviction. That is why France admires and loves you." [25]

FIFA investigation

On July 11, 2006, FIFA declared its intent to officially investigate the incident.[26]

An Amendment[27] regarding discrimination to Art. 55, Par. 4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code[28] stipulates that if any player, association or club official or spectator publicly disparages, discriminates against or denigrates someone in a defamatory manner on account of race, colour, language, religion or ethnic origin, or perpetrates any other discriminatory and/or contemptuous act and can be attributed to a certain team, the team in question faces deduction of points in the group stage resp. disqualification in the knockout stage.

The new provisions had been adopted on 28 March 2006[29][30] and may lead to the FIFA Executive Committee imposing harsh sanctions and even disallowing Italy's team the World Cup victory if Materazzi is convicted of having insulted Zidane with racial slurs.[31]
