How is Zidane's football career?

Personal honors: Three FIFA Ballon d'Or awards in 1998, 2000 and 2003: World Cup (1 time), European Cup (1 time), Champions League (1 time), Serie A (2 times) times), La Liga (1 time) For Zidane's football career, it is difficult to describe Zidane's football career with just two words: legend. Extraordinary skills on the court and outstanding character off the court. Zidane, a talented and talented player, has set a standard for contemporary fans to define a truly outstanding player during his 18-year career as a professional player. Across Europe, if you mention La Castellane, everyone will tell you that it is home to gangsters, thieves and liars. But now, people will also add that there is also a football champion. La Castellane, located on the outskirts of Marseille, is a famous settlement of North African immigrants in France. When Zidane's father Smore, who was originally from a remote mountain village in Algeria, came here in the 1960s, he had no idea that his son would go to the world from here and become the pride of France. Growing up in the deserted and dusty streets of Marseille, Zidane unleashed his talents to the fullest. The poor life did not suppress his football-loving nature. On the contrary, he still retained a humble and simple heart after becoming famous. Despite being born in Marseille, Zidane has never played a game for Marseille. Before he was brought to Italy by Juventus for 3 million euros, he played for Cannes and Porto. In 2001, Zidane, who has become a generational master of world football, was brought to Spain by the Spanish giant Real Madrid for a world record of 66 million euros. There, he and a large number of the world's top players - Ronaldo, Carlos, Figo, Beckham and Raul, dedicated one exciting game to the fans one after another. The most unforgettable club match in Zidane's career took place in the 2002 European Champions Cup final. In the match against Bayer Leverkusen, Zidane made a soul-stirring half-turn volley. The shot helped Real Madrid reach the European Championship. Zidane himself completed the coronation ceremony of the contemporary football emperor. In 2006, Zidane, who was still performing well despite his age, made a decision that shocked the world and said goodbye to football completely after the World Cup. On May 7, 2006, Zidane held a farewell match at the Bernabeu. After that game, his five years at Real Madrid officially became memories. Real Madrid players all wore a special underwear in that game with the Real Madrid team emblem printed on it, and the team emblem said this line - "Zidane 2001-2006". As expected, Real Madrid fans treated Zidane with the highest courtesy a player could receive, with fans applauding Zidane non-stop throughout the game - and not just because he was playing for Real Madrid. Madrid's unparalleled performance is also because Zidane has used his actions to illustrate what perfection is throughout his career. It is a bit regrettable that in that match with Villarreal, Real Madrid only ended in a 3-3 draw with their opponent. Zidane scored the second goal for Real Madrid. After scoring, he did not celebrate. For him at this moment, it seems that he has reached the state of having no desires and no desires. After that game, he exchanged jerseys with Argentinian Riquelme, the core of Villarreal. Heroes cherish heroes. Listening to the fans cheering for him and chanting his name over and over again, the 34-year-old Zidane shed tears silently and said goodbye to Real Madrid, which he had played for for 5 years. Team. National Team Although Zidane did not spend most of his life in his native country, Algeria, he still considers it to be his spiritual home. He was supposed to represent the Algerian team in international competitions. If the then Algerian coach Kemeli had not refused to give him a position on the grounds that he was "not fast enough", Zidane would probably be in a different situation today. On August 17, 1994, in the 63rd minute of the second half of the match between France and the Czech Republic, Zidane played for the first time on behalf of the national team. Although he was only a substitute, Zidane's debut was already a classic. In the first 63 minutes, the Czech team led the French team by 2 goals, and in only 27 minutes remaining, the fledgling Zidane scored two goals to help the French team equalize the score.

For the first time, people began to notice this child of North African immigrants, and from then on, he officially embarked on the road to a generation of superstars. In the 1998 World Cup in France, Zidane reached the first peak of his career. The French team unexpectedly defeated Brazil 3-0. Zidane's bald head became the most shining scenery in that World Cup. , two goals, not only covered up the red card he received for maliciously violating an opponent in an insignificant game, and the shadow of the subsequent two-game suspension, but also helped him become a recognized contemporary football player in people's minds. master. Later, people around Zidane revealed to the outside world that before that game, Zidane had been holding back his energy and wanted to prove his strength with his own actions. Fortunately, he did it. At the European Cup 2 years later, Zidane won another European Cup for France. At this point, Zidane has become the well-deserved number one star in the eyes of the world. Injury troubles caused Zidane to return disappointed from the 2002 World Cup. In that World Cup, the previous champion France failed in the group stage with a poor record of not scoring a single goal. The injured Zidane barely managed to play in the last game of the group stage, but was unable to recover. At that time, people thought that Zidane's era had become a thing of the past. On August 12, 2004, when the French team lost to the Greek team and was eliminated from the European Cup. Zidane issued a statement announcing his retirement from the national team. On February 4, 2005, he announced that when he completed his contract with Real Madrid - that is, after the 2006-07 season, he would say goodbye to this green field completely. In 2006, Zidane's fans were filled with joy and sorrow. On the one hand, Zidane announced that he would return to the French national team to help the team that was stumbling in the World Cup qualifiers establish their qualifications. On the other hand, he chose to retire early. After the end of this season, he will never play for any club again. Perhaps it is Zidane's influence that is so amazing. When he announced on his official website, "I have made the decision to come back." A week later, Makelele and Tuo, who had already said with him that he would retire from the national team, Ramdu has chosen to return. This old and strong French team achieved a good record in the following qualifiers, proving to the world that although Zidane is older, his technical and tactical abilities are still outstanding. But in any case, Zidane, who had won all the honors, chose to retreat bravely. For him, saying goodbye to his beloved football in the 2006 World Cup final was undoubtedly the best way. On May 27, 2006, in the match between France and Mexico, Zidane completed his 100th game for the French team. In the 2006 World Cup, Zidane participated in the final against Italy and scored a penalty kick. However, in the second half of overtime, he was sent off with a red card for headbutting Italian defender Materazzi, ending the World Cup. trip. Zidane retired after the World Cup. Raul is the prince of the Bernabeu, but since Zidane joined Real Madrid in the 01-02 season, the prince's glory has been weakened bit by bit by the French master. Raul, who had been the top scorer in the Champions League in the previous two seasons, witnessed Zidane's Champions League myth in Real Madrid's debut season: he used a world-wide kick to win the Champions League. In the 2005-06 season, when Zidane "farewelled" to the Bernabeu, 80,000 fans chanted "Zi Zu, Qi Zu, Qi Zu" over and over again. Under the club emblem on the left chest of Real Madrid players' jerseys, printed It has the words "Zidane 2001-2006", and even the white ocean of the Bernabeu Stadium is "specially made" for Zidane. ESPN America's commentator said: "Since the generation of Stefano, Gento and Puskas, I have never seen such a scene at the Bernabeu." At this moment, Raul's status is secondary. Yes. In the 1/8 finals of the 2006 World Cup, the French team led by Zidane defeated the Spanish Matadors led by Raul, and personally sent Raul out of the World Cup on Raul's birthday... Figo, the leader of Portugal's golden generation, preceded Zidane. Dardenne became famous and joined Real Madrid earlier than Zidane, but on the campaign stage for the highest personal honor, he won the European Ballon d'Or two years later than Zidane, and won the World Footballer of the Year 3 years later than Zidane. Gogo has only won the World Footballer once, while Zidane has won 3 times. More importantly, Zidane has the World Cup and European Cup titles that Figo has never been able to win. In Real Madrid, Zidane and Figo are teammates, friends and confidants, but on Zidane's stage, Figo can't always escape the fate of a supporting role.

Zidane can end his life at the Bernabeu and enjoy a hero's farewell, while Figo can only endure the humiliation and drift to Inter Milan for his World Cup dream. In the 2000 European Cup, Zidane kicked out the golden generation led by Figo with a penalty kick in overtime, leading France to complete the great cause of dominating the European Cup after winning the World Cup. In the 2006 World Cup, the two leaders who were also the swansong of the World Cup met again. As a result, Zidane's penalty kick shattered Figo's championship dream... Ronaldo was once so outstanding. When he was playing for Barcelona, ??the aliens had conquered. At that time, the crown of "the best player in the world" was once worn on his head. However, when Ronaldo was ambitious and ready to ascend the throne in the World Cup in 1998, it was Zidane who stood in front of him. Zidane's two headers in the final caused the crown to change hands. After both joining Real Madrid, Ronaldo's achievements and reputation are even more difficult to compare with Zidane. Although Ronaldo also won the World Cup title in 2002, and although Ronaldo became the player with the most goals in World Cup history in 2006, when he met Zidane again, he could only taste the bitterness of failure again. It was Zidane's pass that assisted Henry to score the only goal, ending five-star Brazil's defense of the title. And Ronaldo lost his last chance for revenge...and Nedved, Beckham, Ballack, Totti...etc., etc., their achievements are so insignificant compared with Zidane. Even if the Italians defeated France in the 2006 World Cup final and Zidane's former teammates Del Piero, Buffon, Gianluca Zambrotta and the younger Pirlo and Totti won the Gold Cup, they could not Cover up Zidane's shine. Zidane scored a penalty kick, Zidane knocked down Materazzi, Zidane made a tragic curtain call, and Zidane was elected the best player in the World Cup... The legendary Zidane's legendary status came after the 1998 World Cup final. laid down. After that game, he became a household name around the world. In 2004, to celebrate FIFA's centenary celebrations, Pele selected 125 living outstanding players in world football, and Zidane was selected for this list. In the same year, he was voted Europe's best player of the past 50 years. In the final stages of his career, Zidane did not fade into the sunset like others. But he still plays as steadily and well as he did when he was young. When people mention him, they still regard him as one of the most important players of our generation, alongside the best players of all times.
