In the Zidane family, the passion for football runs deep, with each member aspiring to follow in the footsteps of their legendary patriarch, Zinedine Zidane. While Enzo Zidane, Zizou’s second son, aims to emulate his father on the field, his younger brother Luca has chosen a different path, opting to pursue a career as a goalkeeper. Despite his tender age of 16, Luca is already making waves in the Real Madrid youth teams, recently earning recognition as the best goalkeeper in a prestigious U17 tournament held in Qatar.
Zidane Sr. himself, now a coach and mentor, is full of praise for his son’s dedication and potential. Reflecting on Luca’s qualities, Zidane highlights his enthusiasm, determination, and willingness to learn and improve. With these attributes, Zidane believes Luca has all the ingredients for success, although he stresses the importance of patience given his young age.
As for Luca’s decision to become a goalkeeper, Zidane reveals that it was a natural choice born out of the family’s love for the game. With Enzo and Luca regularly playing together, the need for a goalkeeper arose, and Luca readily stepped into the role. Despite being the youngest, Luca embraced the challenge with gusto, showcasing his talent between the posts.
With Zidane’s guidance and Luca’s innate abilities, there’s little doubt that the young goalkeeper has a bright future ahead of him in the world of football.
