Zinedine Zidane

"I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with."

"Music was important. Football was the easy part."

"The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country."

"We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts."
