Return of the Zizou

AFP, Paris
French star Zinedine Zidane on Wednesday announced that he is coming out of international retirement to help his country's flagging World Cup campaign.
The 33-year-old Real Madrid midfielder quit the national team after Euro 2004 when France were knocked out in the quarter-finals but said on his website on Wednesday that he will be available for selection in the friendly against Cote d'Ivoire on August 17.
"I have decided to make a comeback and play for France, one year after I categorically stated I would never play again," said Zidane, a former World Footballer of the Year.
Zidane has played 93 times for the national team scoring 26 goals including two goals in the 1998 World
Cup final win against Brazil.
He also played in the successful Euro 2000 team but his last game was the 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Greece in Euro 2004.
"I will be in Montpellier", said Zidane referring to the venue of the match with Cote d'Ivoire.
France, the World Cup winners in 1998, are currently fourth in Group 4 of the qualifying campaign for the 2006 finals, three points behind leaders the Republic of Ireland.
Switzerland are second with 12 points with Israel in third spot on 11.
France's next World Cup qualifiers are against the Faroe Islands at home on September 3 and the Republic of Ireland in Dublin four days later.
Zidane also announced on his website the return of compatriot, fellow midfielder Claude Makalele who plays for English champions, Chelsea.
"Claude will also make his comeback for the French side," he said.
"For the very first time in my life I have decided to go back on my word which is very important for me. When
I made the decision to retire I was very serious - today I have made the same decision but in reverse.
"Of course I am overwhelmed. Yes, I know I have put myself in a position that many people will look at closely and say: 'Why didn't he do
that earlier? Why now? Why did he wait so long?',"
"Raymond Domenech (the national coach) has been to see me in Madrid two or three times.
"We have discussed it a lot together and he told me directly what
he wanted from me and Claude.
"To have spoken to the national coach was very important. I have thought about returning to play a lot since I retired.
"I don't want to go into too many details of why and how but I do want to point out that I am not returning to play for France as a sort of 'Zorro' or a saviour, just as a player who can help the French national team."
Domenech fuelled speculation of a return in March when he said that "the door was open" for Zidane.
Zidane's comeback decision has come as a rush of adrenalin for Raymond Domenech who said in a press release on Wednesday that he was, "very satisfied."
"I am extremely happy that the national team can once again rely on the services of Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makalele, they are both players of great talent that have made it to the top level of professional football," Domenech said.
"Since I was selected, I have made sure I have chosen the best French players available for the squad."
Domenech has had a bumpy ride since his appointment.
His World Cup qualifying campaign for Germany 2006 has seen France strike a goal drought.
Three goalless matches against Switzerland, Ireland and Isreal and a meagre five goals from six matches have sent out warning signals to the fans who are far from convinced their team will even qualify for Germany.
Zidane, FIFA World Player of the Year in 1998, 2000 and 2003,
became the world's most expensive player in 2001 when he moved from Juventus to Real Madrid for 63.6 million dollars.
He has picked up three Italian and Spanish league winners medals, as well as winning the Champions League in 2002 with Real.
