Zidane Still Has Tekkers: Amazing Skills

Zinedine Zidane proved to doubters and haters that he still has some of those skills that moulded him into a world-class player in the latest edition of the Match Against Poverty against Olympiacos All Stars.

Enzo Zidane - Tipped to NOT Follow Dad's France's Footsteps?

I previously published a post saying they MIGHT be a possibility that Enzo Zidane might opt to play for Spain, instead of France, the team where his dad, Zidane played during his glory days. Now, Jorge Valdano, sporting director of Real Madrid says that "there will be a duel" between Spain and France over Enzo.

France have expressed interest to have him in their squad but Spain U-16 coach Gines Melendez has announced his intentions to call up Zidane Jr. to play for La Furia Roja.

The money is on Spain to win the battle for Enzo after France's embarrassing exit from the 2010 World Cup in contrast to Spain's who won the trophy. But he is just 15 years old, after all? He has a lot of thinking to do.

Mourinho Jr. Just Like His Daddy

José Mourinho is in love with defensive football. Problem is that it's boring .Daddy is so rhapsodic in his philosophy that his own children seem to like it too.Last week, 10 year old José Jr. made his debut for CD Canillas, a Real Madrid affiliate youth club based in Hortaleza. Guess which position he plays?? GOALKEEPER! José Jr. made three great saves to secure his club's 9-0 demolition of San Roque. But for papa, its the zero that matters the most.

Also in the team, Théo Zidane. Yes, Zinedine's son.

So far, José Jr. has seen on tv at least once when José Sr. won the Champions League with Inter.

Il Est Comme Son Père! Enzo Zidane - To Spain???

French legend Zinedine Zidane has said to the pesky people (aka media) that son Enzo (full name Enzo Alan Zidane Fernandez) may choose to play for Spain instead of wearing "le maillot bleu" for Les Blues.

Zidane has four sons, three of whom play in Real Madrid’s infantil team. Enzo Zidane, who qualifies for the Spaniards after living in Spain for more than eight years, has been told by the pesky people as a future star and was rumoured to be on the verge of a call up to Spain’s U15s last year.

Yesterday Zinedine told Spanish paper AS his son wasn’t necessarily going to follow in his father’s footsteps. "When he’s called up, that’s the time that I will decide. If Spain call him up, it will be good, and if it’s France, it will be good too. For the moment, he is enjoying football with Madrid and that’s what’s important."

He really is like his father. He can even do the famous "roulette". Pause at 0:46, where they single out Enzo. Is it me or is the other dude in the center looks a bit like Kaká??

Zizou really, really, REALLY Loves Paul Scholes

Zidane on Scholes:

“Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own. He’s almost untouchable in what he does.

“I never tire of watching him play. You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get.

“One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.”

Who wouldn't want to see Zidane and Scholes in the same central midfield???

I sense our Zizou has a man crush on Scholes...He faces some tough competition since Gary Neville give THAT smacker after our beloved ginger player scored a last gasp goal against Manchester City.
