Immortalising Soccer!!!


A man born to inspire.... The greatest artist our generation has witnessed...his awe inspiring talent transcending his sport...The man they call Zizou...
For a huge soccer addict like myself ..describing zizou is no easy task..especially with my limited vocabulary... But his talent demands tributes like no other.. A man who wins ..and does it with style...
Football has witnessed many greats including the likes of the hugely talented,and controversial Maradona ,and the great pele....But Rarely does someone give a new meaning to his sport ,like zizou did to soccer.His every move had a signature...even the slightest pass of his had style....a magician on the field..Watching him play was like falling in love..He was never running..but gliding.....It was an honour to watch him play...lucky to be in his generation..
Football an art??...ask zizou..his movements were faster than a well oiled ferrari..but artistic like the paintstrokes of an artist.His canvas was the football field where he painted pictures of glory,pictures only a genius can create.Mortal??...I have had my doubts....
Some moments that flash through my moment when i look back at the great frenchman's illustrious career...The Champions league final..when zizou created a fantastic goal out of nothing.Pure Genius.
Then the World Cup 1998,and where he single handedly took france to their first world cup..and the the World Cup 2006..where the great man came out from his retirement and again almost took france to a second world cup win,showing the world ,that he is no ordinary mortal.
But Zidane is much more than the huge no of goals he has created and scored..much more than the huge no of victories..much more than the huge amount of silverware he obtained.... He will always be remembered for what he gave to the sport....He will always be remembered for his art...
He will always be the GOD of football...
