LES BLEUS

Zinedine Zidane affectionately known as zizou among his peers turns 50 today .he has reached pinnacle of his career with his successful stint in Real Madrid as a coach.One of the greatest ever and undoubtedly on par with his countryman Michel Platini who’s admired for banana kicks here in India {swerving freekicks} .He took France to glory in 1998 world cup final against brazil with his astute captaincy and midfielding prowess which got them the coveted worldcup for the first time.He donned the colors of france again but could not repeat this feat in the world cup 2006 as they lost to Italy in the final of worldcup where zidane was shown red card and sent off for the infamous head butt incident against Marco Matterazzi of Italy after their verbal duel during the match .France was reduced to ten men and they couldn’t beat Italy who went on to win the worldcup 2006.France is the current champions of the world cup as they are the winners in 2018 .its matter of time to see whether they can defend their title in the upcoming world cup football finals 2022 in Qatar.
