My Idol

Zinedine Yazid Zidane

Zinedine Yazide Zidane or we know him as Zidane or Zizou was the best midfielder on earth. Why do I like him? The first is just like what I said he was the best midfielder on earth until now nobody has skills as well as he had, and the second is he is a Muslim. As a Muslim he really makes me proud of him. Even though he is not football player anymore, but he still works in real Madrid as technical manager.

He was born in Marseille at 23 June 1972. His parents immigrated from Algeria. He started his professional career in AS Cannes. After he played for Cannes, he transferred to Bordeaux, and than he moved to Juventus. When he was in Juventus he got two Serie-A titles. There is one title he did not get when he was in Juventus is Champions League title, but he still shown his good skill.

Because of his good skills Madrid interested to him. Madrid bought him from Juventus with fee £46 millions. That made record in that time. In 2002 he got what all of players that play in Europe dream is Champions League title.

Now a little beat about his International career. In 1998 World Cup he helped France to reach its first world cup title. And in 2000, he made the world amazed he helped France reached Euro 2000 titled. In the end of his career he almost made it perfect. Until in FIFA World Cup final, he butt Materazzi’s chest. And the referee gave him red card.

Even tough he is retired, and made stupid mistake in the end of his career. He is still my idol. In his retirement, he spends his time with charity activities.
