The Story of Life's Maestro Football, Zinedine Yazid Zidane
Zinedine Yazid Zidane was born on June 23, 1972 in Marseille, France. He was born to Smail and Malika Zidane. Zidane grows in the La Castellane region. A port city in the south of France that is bustling with crime.
Aside from crime, the suicide rate, especially for migrants, is also very high. Zidane belongs to an ordinary family.
His father is an immigrant from Algeria. He works as a night shift security officer in a shopping center. Meanwhile his mother is an ordinary housewife.
Coming from a family of the Arabian peninsula region, Algeria, Zinedine Zidane is known to embrace the same religion as her parents, Islam.
It all started in 1953. Smail and Malika Zidane, Zidane's parents decided to move from the Kabylie region of Algeria to France. A few years after his move, the Algerian War broke out. Their family moved to the Saint-Denis region and survived until 1960.
In 1960, they moved to the La Castellane region of Marseille. The region is thick with marginal regional scents. Unemployment and crime rates in the region were quite high in its time. Maybe this also makes Zidane mentally honed.
Zidane's talent in playing football has been seen since the age of five. Evidently, at the age of 10, Zidane has joined the junior soccer team from Castellane.
Zinedine Zidane's first professional soccer career began at the US club Cannes.
Zidane scored his first goal in 1991 when AS Cannes won the match against Nantes by a score of 2-1. In 1992-1993, Zidane was transferred to Girodins de Bordeaux. His achievements as a football player began to look brilliant.
Gradually, a number of English clubs began to bid on Zidane, say Newcastle United, who offered a 1.2 million pounds contract. But, Zidane even anchored in Italy, more precisely at Juventus in 1996.
Zidane's achievements in the Zebra Team are also quite impressive. Juventus won the 1996/97 Italian Serie A season, and the Intercontinental Cup 1996. And finally Juve also won the 1997/98 Serie A season.
The total goals scored by Zidane when he first entered Juve until 1998 totaled 32.
However, please note that before the success of Juventus, Zidane almost joined the English Premier League club, Blackburn Rovers.
While Zidane was grazing in France with Bordeaux, Blackburn Rovers actually had the opportunity to bring himself. However, as revealed by the late Jack Walker, who at the time owned Blackburn, the opportunity to recruit one of the world's greatest footballers was rejected because they already had Team Sherwood.
As mentioned earlier, Zidane was then also linked with another English club, Newcastle United. But Newcastle officials Zidane rate is not tough enough to play in the Premier League.
In the failure of Zidane's transfer process to Blackburn, Jack Walker became the party to blame. He has indeed funded the club's success by winning the Premier League in 1995. However, he did not always do it right.
The manager at the time, Kenny Dalglish, advised the club to bring in Zidane, who was defending Bordeaux at the time. The player positioned as a central midfielder is expected to help the club. Walker can be said to be sorry by issuing a statement refusing.
In the end, Zidane was bought by Juventus, where he proved his abilities before moving to Real Madrid as the most expensive player in the world.
Yes, after being satisfied in black and white uniforms, Zidane was named the world's most expensive player, following his move to Real Madrid.
In 2001, the record as the most expensive player in the world was pinned to Zidane when Real Madrid was transferred from the Italian club, Juventus in the 2001/02 season with a value of 46 million pounds or the equivalent of 831 billion rupiah.
Zidane had almost won all the individual titles before the 2001 season.
World Cup, Serie A champions Italy, the world's best players, the best European players are already suffocating his cupboard. But one title that has not been won is the European Champions League champions. The dream finally came true after he moved to Real Madrid and won the Champions League in the 2001/02 season.
Zidane even scored a beautiful goal through a half-volley against Bayern Leverkusen at the top of the party.
Before creating an iconic moment in the Champions League final, Zidane also managed to carve gold ink at the 1998 World Cup, where France hosted.
The 1998 World Cup was the first World Cup participated by Zidane.
Although it was the first time competing in the World Cup, Zinedine Zidane appeared extraordinary. France managed to beat Brazil in the final with a score of 0 - 3, Zidane contributed one goal in between. Considered the most influential, he was awarded the title Man of the Match.
At the same time, Zidane's photo was on display at the monument Act de triomphe de l'Etoile. The photo was accompanied by the words Merci Zizou (thank you Zizou).
Zidane indeed started everything well. In fact, his debut with the French national team became one of the most historic moments in football.
Right on August 17, 1994, Zinedine Zidane made his debut for the French national team. Zidane was demoted by Aime Jacquet in the second round replacing Corentin Martins during France against the Czech Republic.
Entering as a substitute, Jacquet needs an injection of new energy to be able to prevent Les Bleus from losing. At that time, France was behind 2-0 and Zidane was included to be able to increase the breaking power.
Receiving feedback from ripe in the area of the Czech Republic, he neatly outwitted two opponents defender before releasing a bang from a distance of 25 meters leading to the corner of the goal. It's a debut that might not be forgotten.
The first incision seemed to make Zidane increasingly hungry and he added a goal through a perfect header from a distance of 10 meters to then force the match to end as strong as 2-2.
In total, Zidane has been able to package 31 goals in 108 appearances for France. Twice involved in the World Cup final, one of which won in 1998.
After a fantastic performance at the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Cup, not a few football publics consider him the best player in the world.
His strengths and expertise in dribbling and ball possession often make opponents feel frustrated because of the difficulty of snatching the ball from him.
But in addition to incised gold ink, Zidane also has very bad memories. That happened at the 2006 World Cup mat. Despite successfully bringing France to the final, Zidane could not stem his emotions when provoked by opposing players.
At the 2006 World Cup, his name echoed again. Not because of achievement, but because he made a fatal mistake. He gore Marco Materazzi's chest and got himself kicked out of the field. He also must be willing to take a shower faster.
Whatever the reason behind his decision to head to Materazzi's bosom, that action is not justified. And Zizou's career at the national team level stopped with red ink that was difficult to erase.
At his own club level, Zidane ended his career with Real Madrid and notched a number of titles including La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Champions League, to the European Super Cup.
At the Spanish club, Zidane entered the 11 Best Foreign Players in the History of Real Madrid.
In retirement, Zidane looks still can not move on from football. It was proven that in 2010 he accepted Real Madrid's proposal as an advisor. In 2013, he was assistant coach of Real Madrid at the time, Carlo Ancelotti.
A year later, Zidane was promoted to become a core coach at Real Madrid Castilla (Real Madrid B) alias a team whose contents are Real Madrid reserve players. This team competes in Segunda Division B.
Two years later, more precisely in 2016, Zidane was officially appointed as Real Madrid coach.
On May 29, 2016, he brought Real Madrid to the 11th Champions League trophy, and last 2018, Real Madrid won the 13th Champions League trophy.
In his personal life, when playing in the Cannes team, France in 1988-1989, Zidane fell in love with a woman from Spain named Veronique Fernandez. They also had an affair until later married in 1994.
The fruit of his love, Zidane and Veronique have 4 children, and all are boys, Enzo Fernandez, Luca Zidane, Elyaz Zidane Fernandez, and Theo Zidane.
