On the set of C to you this Thursday, March 16, a columnist had a little biting remark about the sons of Zinédine Zidane. Like their famous dad, all are footballers.
We hope that Zinédine Zidane was not looking at C à vous … This Thursday, March 16, the France 5 program returned to the list of players summoned by Didier Deschamps for the qualifying matches for Euro 2024 against the Netherlands and to Ireland. Among the 23 players selected by the coach of the France team? Kephren Thuram but also Marcus Thuram, the two sons of Lilian Thuramworld champion in 1998. A real pride for the ex-footballer, that his former teammate will therefore not be able to know… “And the children, the sons of Zinédine Zidane, are footballers too? They are not selectable for the France team?”, wondered Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine while looking at Mohamed Bouhafsi.
Visibly a little embarrassed by this question, the former RMC journalist tried to answer the host of C à vous. “They’re not good enough…”, he let go, annoyed. And to add: “Maybe Luca, the goalkeeper. Maybe”. Because yes, like their very famous dad, the sons of Zinédine Zidane have chosen the same professional path, without the same result for the moment. Zizou’s eldest, Enzo, plays at CF Fuenlabrada, in the Spanish third division, as an attacking midfielder. His 24-year-old younger brother, Luca, is therefore a goalkeeper at SD Eibar, in the Spanish second division. At 20, midfielder Théo plays for Real Madrid Castilla (the reserve of Real), in the Spanish third division. Finally, Elyaz is 17 years old and plays with the Real Madrid Under-18s, as a left-back.
Zinédine Zidane: his four sons very proud of him
Very close to their famous dad, the four Zidane sons therefore try to make him proud on the football pitch. And they never hesitate to proclaim their love to him, especially on the occasion of his last birthday. “Happy birthday my dad, you have always been an example for me, I am proud to be your son and to be able to spend so many beautiful moments together. Thank you for always being there for me, I love you so much!”, wrote the young dad, Enzo. Her brother, Luca, posted a photo taken on a boat. “Happy birthday my dad. 50 years old, you are my example. Thank you for giving us all these values, we are all very proud of you and I am proud to be your son. I love you very much”, he confided. The two youngest of the siblings also had a thought for their father on the occasion of his birthday. And for Zizou, this is the most important.
