Description
The sports biography Zidane by Frédéric Hermel tells the real story of footballer and coach Zinédine Zidane: from his poor childhood to his incredible achievements and everything in between.
Zidane by Frédéric Hermel is the sports biography of perhaps the most influential football player and coach of all time: Zinédine Zidane.
Zinedine Zidane is a true (sometimes controversial) legend and fits in with Zlatan, Ronaldo and Messi. Everyone knows the infamous headbutt during the 2006 World Cup, but who is Zidane really? An emotional man with an inscrutable character or a superstar who has remained very ordinary?
This is a story of an extraordinary life: after a poor childhood in a crime-ridden suburb of Marseille, Zinedine Zidane became one of the greatest footballers ever. The biography Zidane covers everything: from his incredible achievements as a coach in the Champions League, to his close relationship with his four (footballing!) sons and his wife, but also his sense of justice, his enormous generosity and his feelings of loneliness. This is the real Zidane.
