More than 10 years ago, a defender with a great performance and a calm and mature character appeared in front of the eyes of football fans. At that time, Zidane, who was working as an advisor to Real Madrid coach Mourinho, introduced a player who would become one of the best defenders in the future. That player was Varane. Zidane told Mourinho that Varane was one of the players who would come out later and lead the French defense. At that time, Varane was only 18 years old. However, Varane was showing his best performance with a calm and mature character that did not befit his age at the French Ligue 1 club Lens II.

At that time, Real Madrid was not the only team interested in Varane. The legendary manager of the Premier League powerhouse Manchester United, Ferguson, also liked Varane and competed with Real Madrid to sign him. Real Madrid rarely sign young players like this, but Zidane's advice led to the signing of Varane. Thus, he went from being an unknown player to one of the most successful teams in Europe, Real Madrid. In addition, Varane is one of the favorite players of France coach Deschamps. Deschamps took over as France coach in 2012. Since Deschamps took over as France coach, Varane has been selected for the French national team. In 2014, Varane became the youngest captain in France's history, setting a record at the age of 21.

Varane's style of play is different from other defenders. Varane plays with composure and Varane plays with a mature style of play. He is not a player who plays aggressively, but a player who plays with a lot of skill. Since he was in his 20s, Varane has shown a more mature style of play than players in their 30s. Varane is not a flashy player, so he was not as popular as Pepe or Ramole. But how good a player he is can be seen from the achievements and trophies he has won. Varane is also the youngest player to win the Champions League three times. After winning all the trophies with Real Madrid, Varane moved to Manchester United in 2021. He showed world-class performance at Manchester United, but he struggled with injuries.

Thus, Varane retired from playing at the age of 31 due to a knee injury. Yes, now we will introduce the story of the French legend Varane, who has shown world-class defensive play throughout his career and won many trophies. Thank you very much to everyone who read this until the end.
