End of a career in gently
--------------------------------------
If the first years of Madrid Zinédine allow it to gain a title of champion of Spain and, especially to win for the first and only time in his career the Champions League, Galactic policy establishment by Florentino Perez shows its limits. Since 2003, the great Real did not win and show, both on the field and within the actual or organizational club, for instability. These are the reasons, as well as the physical condition of the declining number 10 french, who want to advertise on the TV channel Canal + on 25 April 2006, he will retire after the World Cup in Germany. During the match France - South Korea-Switzerland and France, Zidane receives two yellow cards from the referee which prevents him from participating in the match against Togo.
Lucid, Zinédine recognizes that no longer has the same level or the same consistency as the zenith of his career and decides to terminate his contract a year before its term. The departure of Florentino Perez, the man who had come to Real, has undoubtedly also played a large role in his decision. Zidane played the last match against Villareal Bernabeu before an audience celebrating his departure from the most beautiful of ways, demonstrating that Zidane will forever be one of the greatest geniuses of football. In addition, a documentary called Zidane, a portrait of the twenty-first century was released in May 2006 in France and was screened in Official Selection out of competition at the 59th Festival de Cannes.
On 1 July 2006 is a date to mark in gold letters in the career of Zinedine Zidane. If the qualification of players of the French team is due to their absolute control of the party at the Brazilian powerless, the main actor was the french leader. That day Zinedine Zidane over the party as never before, and was elected man of the match by FIFA. It dribble, juggle over the heads to Brazil, and especially provides for the first time in his career, a decisive pass to Thierry Henry. He never joined any of the players such as Johan Cruyff, Maradona and Pele at the peak of the history of World Cup football. King Pele has called Zidane the "wizard" at this party. His career could have ended in apotheosis. Unfortunately, on 10 July 2007, during the final of the World Cup between Italy to the French team, Zizou loses his cool and gives a memorable and unfortunate coup de boule at one of the Italian players. It will still be named "Player of the World" and for the majority of french, it deserves more than a title ...
