Zidane: From No.7 to No.1, the French midfield artist

In the action comedy "Taxi" produced by the famous French director Luc Besson, the protagonist of the film, a Marseille taxi driver who is good at racing, is the most common dress. However, the number is not the number 1 that Zidane wore in the French national team, but the number 7 that he wore in Cannes that year.

The shirt number is not an important number for Zidane, just as he is a low-key person, he doesn't pay much attention to these external things. But the location in the film is of great significance to Zidane, because the Algerian immigrant was born in Marseille in 1972 and is also regarded as a hero by the Marseilles.

However, Zidane failed to start his career with Marseille. At the age of 14, he was spotted by the scouts of Cannes and signed an apprenticeship contract. At the age of 17, he represented Cannes in Ligue 1. Two seasons later, Zidane, who just turned 2, has become the main force in Cannes.

In p>1992, Cannes was unfortunately relegated to the second division, and Zidane moved to Bordeaux, another French powerhouse. In his first season in Bordeaux, he scored 1 goals. This makes the fans in Cannes very sorry. Their team is still struggling in the second division, and one fan said, "Maybe we shouldn't have fallen into the second division. Have you seen the Bordeaux team? Who is scoring the goal? It is Danielle and Zidane! "

Maybe Zidane himself should be thankful. When he was in Cannes, his hometown team Marseille contacted him, but without the following, he escaped. Because Marseille soon broke the match-fixing scandal that shocked football, it was ordered to be relegated to the second division. Zidane, on the other hand, is getting better and better on his own road.

In Bordeaux, Zidane has gradually become an indispensable player. His wonderful goals and accurate passing often give people the feeling of being a good player. At the age of 22, Zidane scored twice for the first time in his career. It was on August 17th, 1994, at the Bordeaux Stadium, he wore the shirt of the French team for the first time instead of the blue shirt of Bordeaux. At that time, the Czech team led by two goals, and Zidane scored a goal with a left foot in the last five minutes of the game, and then equalized the score with a corner kick from a teammate.

Coincidentally, another night four years later, Zidane scored two more goals, scoring his first and second goals in the World Cup. These two balls were headed by a teammate's corner kick, reminiscent of the head hammer four years ago. The difference is that these two headers made Zidane the king of the world and made France lift the World Cup for the first time.

However, Zidane still has a long way to go from his first entry into the national team to the top of the world. He first helped Bordeaux reach the final of the UEFA Cup in 1995-96. Although he lost to Bayern in the end, many ball critics have compared him with Platini. Then in the European Cup in 1996, he won the trust of Jacques and became the core of the French team.

In p>1996, Zidane won a high contract from Juventus, Italy. At Juventus, he first beat River Plate to win the Toyota Cup, and then helped the Bianconeri win the Serie A titles in 1996-97 and 1997-98. Zidane's excellent ball control skills have impressed the Italians who have always advocated defense. His natural and unrestrained action of pulling the ball and passing people was even named "Marseille Swing" after his hometown. As a perfect midfield conductor, his overall situation and accurate passing constantly bring victory to the team.

The twists and turns and wonder in the World Cup

In p>1998, Zidane, who had reached the peak of his football career, began his first World Cup tour. Like many superstars who participated in the World Cup for the first time, the French were too nervous at first. In the second game, Amin of Saudi Arabia defended him impenetrably, and Zidane made a fatal mistake: when Amin fell to the ground for the first time, he stepped down. This bad behavior not only earned him a red card, but also caused him to be suspended for two games.

France is struggling without Zidane. In the eighth final, they were helpless about Paraguay's iron drum array, and Zidane had no strength off the court but could not display it. Until the end of extra time, French center-back Blanco finally won the winning golden ball, and Zidane finally avoided the reputation of a sinner.

In the penalty shoot-out against Italy, Zidane was the first to play, just like Roberto Baggio of Italy. He steadily sent the ball to the door of Italy. Italy finally fell to the penalty spot for the third time in a row, and France entered the World Cup semi-finals again after 12 years.

The French team still won the semi-final. The dark horse Croatia's super striker Suk took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and this time it was still a defender who came out as the savior. Thuram's two goals turned the French team around.

Before the final, almost all the comments were optimistic about beating Chile, Denmark and the defending champion Brazil of the Netherlands, but only politely thought that France, which stumbled into the final, had home court advantage. All eyes seem to be focused on the bald head of Brazilian genius Ronaldo, but no one can think that another bald head will shine in this game. Zidane seized the opportunity in front of many fans of the motherland, won the highest honor in world football, and won the title of World Footballer of the Year at the end of the year.

In p>2, Zidane led the French national team to challenge the traditional curse that the World Cup champion could not win the European Cup. Zidane began to exert himself in the knockout stage. His free kick in front of the penalty area opened the door for France to beat Spain, and then he scored a winning penalty in extra time against Portugal. In the final, Italy, the opponent two years ago, scored the first goal. Just as the Italians were about to touch the European champion, the French team hit them hard and completed the reversal at the last moment. At the end of this year, Zidane won the honor of World Footballer of the Year again.

Zidane's Real Madrid career

In p>21, Zidane decided to leave Italy after finishing second in Serie A twice. Real Madrid bought the superstar. In Spain, where the defense is not tight, Zidane can control the ball more freely, and his skills have reached the perfect level. On May 15th, 22, Zidane sank Leverkusen in Glasgow with a very difficult full moon machete volley, thus locking the 9th Champions League of Real Madrid.

However, joy begets sorrow. Zidane was unfortunately injured in the warm-up match before the World Cup, and therefore missed the first two World Cup matches in Korea and Japan. France, which lacked Zidane, was beaten by Senegal, an African dark horse, but still failed to score in the second game, and Uruguay drew -. In the last game of the group stage, Zidane, who was about to be eliminated, couldn't sit still. However, when he came out injured, he mostly fell helplessly on the lawn. France was defeated by Denmark 2-, and the defending champion was out early.

at real Madrid, it seems that things are not so good either. In 23, although Zidane won the title of World Player of the Year for the third time because of his performance in the club, the road of Real Madrid, which newly bought Ronaldo and Beckham, to win the championship in La Liga was not as smooth as expected. In the Champions League, they were also eliminated by Juventus. The Bianconeri have found their new leader Nedved and have completely forgotten Zidane. In 24, Real Madrid got nothing. Zidane seems to have gone downhill.

Maybe Zidane's free kick against England in the first match of Euro 24 still reminds people that I am still one of the best players in the world. In this game, Zidane completed the reversal of the French team by himself. In stoppage time, he tied the score with a perfect arc free kick, and then scored a penalty in England at the last moment of the game to overtake the score. However, a team cannot always rely on the strength of one person. In the first game of the knockout, the last new champion, Greece, stopped the progress of the old aristocrats.

Now that Zidane has retired, there is no news to come back.
