Bonjour,
Pouvez-vous corriger mes fautes, j'essaie d'écrire dans un style indirect, je rougis car je m'aperçois que je n'utilise jamais ce style depuis que je parle anglais.
My name is Marie and I am a journalist. I have decide to interview a footballer.
I asked him when he would celebrate his birthday, how old.... (A quel âge a-t-il commencé à jouer au football), in which.... dans quel championnat il a évolué, if he had enjoyed to play with a world champion Zidane, si il aurait préféré jouer et vivre à l'étranger,
if his wife and his children were proud of him (si sa femme et ses enfants étaient fiers de lui), how old (A que âge il arrêtera la compététion), if he had found a new job when he stopped (s'il a trouvé un nouveau métier quand il arrêtera), what was his favourite sports clubs in France and overseas (quel est son club de foot préféré en France et à l'étranger) et how has he would spent his time now because he doesnt play football anymore.

Merci pour vos corrections et avis, conseils dont je prends toujours note.
HAVE A NICE DAY - Marie

My name is Marie and I am a journalist. I decided to interview a footballer.
I asked him when he would celebrate his birthday, how old he was when he began to play football, in which championship he had been évolué, (désolé, je ne suis pas sûr comment traduire ce mot) if he had enjoyed playing with the world champion Zidane, if he would have preferred to play and live abroad, if his wife and his children were proud of him, how old he was when he stopped competing, if he had found a new job when he stopped, what were his favourite sports clubs in France and overseas and how has he spent his time now, since he doesnt play football anymore.

Hope this helps

I wanted to add that "footballer" would be football player, at least in America. Also, I think "evolue" is "involved". Question: Are you referring to American football or soccer? If the article is for an American audience, you would need to note that difference.

Hope this helps -
