zinedine Zidane
1972-
French soccer player
French soccer superstar Zinedine Zidane, "Zizou" to his fans, is a hero for the international age. Born in France of Algerian parents, Zidane has led the French national team and professional teams in Italy and in Spain to soccer championships. His impact on the culture of his native France, where immigrants-especially North African ones-and their children are often treated with distrust or outright hostility, has been particularly profound.
From Marseille to Cannes
Yazid Zidane, as Zinedine Zidane was known as a child, was one of five children born to Smail and Malika Zidane, Algerian immigrants who came to France in 1953. The family lived in the La Castellane housing project, which is notorious throughout Marseille for its high crime rate. Zinedine Zidane's father had a steady job, as an overnight security guard in a department store, so they lived a reasonably comfortable life compared to many of their neighbors. Still, the family's apartment was so small that all seven of them could not sit down to eat at the same time.
By the time he was five, Zidane was joining in the soccer games that the neighborhood's children play on the Place Tartane, an 80-by-12-yard plaza that serves as the main square of La Castellane. When he was a little older he began playing with a club, US Saint-Henri, in Marseille. His next step was the Septemes Sports Olympiques, where he began playing before the age of 11. In 1984 Zidane earned the job of ball boy at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, for a semifinal game in the European Cup between France, the winner, and Portugal.
Unlike in North America, France has a large system of professional soccer teams for children under the age of 19. Promising young players often join these teams very young, and Zidane was no exception: he left Marseille to
join the Cannes junior soccer team at the age of 13. The Cannes adult team was a prestigious, First Division team at that time, and Zidane began playing in First Division games with them when he was 17. In 1991, at the age of 18, he scored his first goal in a First Division game. As the president of the Cannes club had promised, he gave Zidane a car, a red Clio, for scoring that first goal.
Moving Up
The Cannes club had a good season that year, finishing fourth in the rankings and qualifying for the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Cup, but in 1992 the team finished so poorly that they were relegated to the Second Division. Zidane and his wife, Veronique, moved to Bordeaux and Zidane joined their club. Zidane played for Bordeaux for four seasons. The Bordeaux club was a solid if not an outstanding team in those years. They qualified for the UEFA Cup every year, and in 1996 they made it all the way to the finals, where they lost to Bayern Munich in two games.
Zidane's performance in Bordeaux brought him to the attention of an Italian team, Juventus of Turin, which recruited him after the 1995-96 season. With this team, Zidane would finally become a champion. Under his leadership Juventus won five titles in the next three years. In 1998 Zidane's role in these victories was honored with two prestigious awards: the Golden Ball and the "Player of the Year" designation by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). As these judges and others have noticed, Zidane has outstanding ball-handling skills. He can spin 360 degrees while balancing the soccer ball on top of his foot, a maneuver that he often uses in games to avoid a tackler.
Cultural Impact
Zidane also became a hero in France for helping to lead the French national team to victory in the World Cup in 1998, for the first time in 68 years, and the Euro Cup in 2000. His success was especially important to other Beurs, as second-generation North Africans are called in France. Zidane is one of the only Beurs to be widely visible in French culture, which is often hostile to Arab and other immigrants, and he is by far the most successful one. Zidane's influence has encouraged thousands of young French Arabs to join soccer teams, and Zidane even sponsors a team in his old neighborhood of La Castellane himself.
In 1999 Zidane became arguably the sexiest man in France when he became Christian Dior's first male model. To the very happily married Zidane (he kisses his wedding ring as he steps onto the field at the beginning of each match as a gesture of love to his wife and their two sons), the sack loads of fan mail he receives from women who appreciate his good looks and athletic prowess have become a source of consternation. As John Lichfield reported in the Independent, "'Some say they are in love with me,' he told an interviewer, with touching confusion, as if he was expected to reciprocate in some way. 'But I'm married.'"

Another Club, Another Country
Zidane became the best-paid soccer player in history on June 9, 2001, when he signed a $68.6 million, four-year contract with Real Madrid, one of the strongest clubs in the history of European soccer. He was given the number five jersey, the number that had, until he retired at the end of the 2000-01 season, belonged to Real Madrid's star Manuel Sanchez for 18 years. Real Madrid's fans expected the same level of stardom out of Zidane, and he did not disappoint them. Less than a year after joining the team Zidane scored the goal that won the 2002 European Cup for Real Madrid with only seconds remaining in the final match. This was Real Madrid's ninth victory in that tournament, a record, and their win filled in a large hole in Zidane's résumé: despite his success in other venues, up till this point, Zidane had not yet won a European Cup. Fans can only hope that Zidane will continue to perform as well for the rest of his time in Madrid.
