Apart that both wear ( wore ) the REAL MADRID CF uniform, they share DNA. The youngster is called ENZO ZIDANE ( born France, mother Spanish origin), is 15 years old & is causing a mini tug of war between the French Football Federation & the Spanish Football Federation. The son of French Football legend ZINEDINE ZIDANE is on the verge of jumping a level & into the National Team stage & Spain may call him up for U-17 duties, along with France. Who will young Enzo choose?
According to FIFA rules Enzo will be forever loyal ( cannot play for another ) to the National side that he decides to run onto a the field which is the A-team. That is, until he plays a single minute with the Absolute Team ( Spain or France) , the young man can still have time to decide to whom he wishes to pledge his services. Therefore, even if Enzo plays for the Spanish U-17, 19 or 21 Teams, he could still play for France if he plays in the ABSOLUTE TEAM. The kid has sometime to think!Tweet
ENZO ZIDANE is the 15 year old son of World Football French Legend ZINEDINE ZIDANE & is currently lifting eyebrows here in the REAL MADRID junior team & with Spanish Football observers. The youngster has apparently inherited the style & playing finesse of his father & may soon make a serious jump in level in his early career which calls for a mayor decision.
Enzo was born in France in 1995 & also has a Spanish passport thanks to his mother, both her parents are Spanish from El Chive town in the region of Almeria in Southern Spain. The Spanish Football Authorities are thinking in calling up young Enzo for the Spanish U 16 National Team, something that needs serious thought because if he decides to take the invitation the player will shut the door to the French National side. Something similar occured with FC Barcelona player Bojan Krkic who decided in favour of Spain over Serbia.
Apparently the final decision will be taken up & made on behalf of Enzo by his father Zinedine. Which country will they choose?
Here is a VIDEO of ENZO ZIDANE,son of Zinedinein action for the REAL
MADRIDyouth team:
Yes, he looks like his father. He has nice footwork & has been called up to the U/15 Spain Squad. But lets not ruin the kid before he can get started.
Remember Jordi Cruyff , son of Johan Cruyff, ended short of the expectations & wondered from Club to Club. The pressure of comparisons "killed" his Football career & we don´t wish to impose this on this young boy.
Zinedine Zidane, father of Enzo, put the mark soooo high that few players will be able to put their shadow on it & even less equal it. Tweet
