For many football lovers, June 23 is a day like no other as it is the birthday of one of the greatest players of all time, Zinedine Zidane. The former playing master of the Blues and Real Madrid celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday. A symbolic date for the one who has become a successful coach and has long been announced on the side of Paris Saint-Germain. If he will not finally come to train the club of the capital, the husband of Véronique hopes one day to be able to take over the position of Didier Deschamps in the France team.
While waiting to find out what his future will be like, Zizou was able to take advantage of yesterday to realize the impact he has in football today. The greatest players paid tribute to him, starting with the former glory of OM, Didier Drogba, but we imagine that the messages that touched him the most came from those close to him. Father of four tall and talented boys, Zinedine Zidane has managed to create a unique bond with each of them despite his busy schedule and his life as a football star. Every year, he goes on vacation to Ibiza with them for a special family moment that helps to strengthen the ties between them.
At only 16 years old, Elyaz far exceeds his father!
The youngest of the Zidane family, Elyaz, is not yet talked about too much, but he is perhaps the most talented of the 4. Called up for the France under-17 team, he recently won a trophy with the Blues, to the delight of his father. Yesterday, the young man did not forget to pay a nice tribute to his father on Instagram. Followed by just over 10,000 subscribers, Elyaz shared a beautiful photo of him and his father and we can see that he is already very tall! His father is already 1m85, but the 16-year-old boy almost takes a head off him. “Happy birthday, Dad”he writes simply by adding another photo in the company of his two other brothers Luca and Théo and his mother during an outing to the restaurant.
