Part of a movie review of the latest movie on Zidane. Of interest is the following comment:
Let’s accept the consensus of soccer aficionados that Zinedine Zidane of France is the best player of recent years.
His reputation seems to have remained intact even after his head butt in the World Cup final match in 2006. He was ejected from the game, and his French team lost to Italy.
A superstar in a globally popular team sport deserves a feature-length documentary. It could show what drives the man, where he came from, how he trains, how he lives away from the pitch. It ought to have cultural resonance because Zidane, a French hero, is of Algerian descent.
And of course we agree with this assessment!
