Zinedine Zidane (齐达内), who dreams of leading France to its second World Cup title in a row (连续的) this month, has always preferred to express himself with a football rather than with words．
He became one of the world's most expensive players when he joined Real Madrid from Italy's Juventus (尤文图斯队) for US $ 66 million．And he has been a national hero since he scored twice in the 3 -0 defeat of Brazil in the 1998 World Cup final．
Though he made great success, Zidane has always kept his feet on the ground．He leads a quiet family life, there is little gossip (闲话) about him．“I don't like to talk about myself to the world．” he often said．
Even as a child playing football in the poor area of Marseille (马赛) France, where he was raised by his Algerian (阿尔及利亚) parents, Zidane was shy．He loved football even as a little boy．“I realized football is a wonderful mixture of a sharp mind and hard training rather than just talking,” he said．Even when the match awards were just chocolate and bread, Zidane found that football made his poor childhood rich．
