Zinedine Zidane


 One of the greatest football players of all time , a French Legend, Zinedine Zidane was born on 23 June 1972. He is of Algerian Kabyle Berber , his parents imigrated in Paris in 1953 before the start of the Algerian war .

A Legendary football carrier
 At the age of 10 , he joined the local club from La Castellane, US Saint-Henri. After a year and a half he joined SO Septèmes Valons.At the age of 14 , he was spotted by one of the AS Cannes scout in one of the football camps he attended. Zidane went to Cannes and ended up playing 4 years of professional football at a high level.He made his professional debut in 1989 at the age of 17 in a game against Nantes. He scored his first goal in 1991 
against the same team.
 Zidane was transferred to Girondins de Bordeaux in the 1992–93 season. In 1996 he moved to the Champions League winner Juventus Torino for a fee of 3.2 milion pounds.
 The biggest move in his life was moving to one of the biggest clubs in the world , Real Madrid in 2001 for the record fee of almost 75 million euros. He scored a famous match-winning goal, a volley hit with his weaker foot, in Madrid's 2–1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 UEFA Champions League. 
 Along his carrier he played 108 games for the French National team scoring 31 goals and 506 matches for his club teams scoring a total of 95 goals. Impressive numbers for an attacking midfielder...
 In my opinion he is in top 3 footballers of all time, his carrier is the proof of it. He is an idol to the young, a master of the ballcontrol ,a God of the free-kicks and penalties. Quality players are quality players ,Zizou is definitelly one of them !
