I like watching Zidane because he always tries and never quits. He communicates well with other players. If he loses he doesn't get mad but he wishes the other team good luck Last Match • His last match was in the World Cup final against Italy. • He was sent off in the 110th minute of the match for head butting Materazzi • France lost 5-3 on penalties The three questions 1. Were you happy when you were playing? ( I want to know why he retired) 2. How did you become interested in football? ( was anybody in his family connected with football) 3. Why did you head butt Materazzi? ( this was his last game so something bad must have made him do this) Bibliography • • • • • File:Flag_of_Spain.svg File:Flag_of_Italy.svg http://www.youtube.com/watch? http://www.addictinggames.com/ http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&s afe • http://www.google.com/search?q=zidane+with+t he+family&um
