Zinedine Zidane was named as one of the players of the tournament in France '98. He played his usual international position for France in midfield, wearing the number 10 shirt. Early in the tournament Zidane was awarded a red card and a two match ban in the group stage against Saudi Arabia. He then went on to redeem himself, scoring twice in the cup final vs Brazil and helping France win the tournament.
