Zinedine Zidane

The Dream begins,
The French National Anthem.
The World Cup 2006 Anthem.
The Football Anthem!

Zizou, number 10,the man.
The masterpiece,"Yes he can".
The magician,the legend.
Every beginning has an end.

No defender could stop him.
No referee disapproved his game.
Sliding tackles,man sandwiching him
Didn't work,He worked amazingly for the aim.


He helped France to the finals.
All eyes on the captain.
He satisfied all the major roles.
He was magnificent,the Inspiration.

Standing before the penalty spot,
Nobody expected this shot.
He chipped the ball into the frame.
One step closer,he came.

He couldn't tolerate foul language.
Headbutt,violent conduct,not the age.
Red card,dreams shattered,walked away.
French hearts broken,WC glory- far away.

Career was over,Retirement and apologies.
Some remembered him as the brilliant player.
Some remembered the blemish on his character.
He still is the biggest name in football.

And always will be,the still talked moments.
The one touch finish from Beck's ball.
The volley finish from Carlos' cross.
The Marseille Roulettes,the memorabilia!
