Some do not remember it because they were too young, but this evening of July 12, 1998, a team entered the hearts of the French forever. A group of friends led by Aimé Jacquet and who allowed a whole people to finally lift their first World Cup. A star was born that day, Zinedine Zidane. Already perceived as the master to play of the Blues, the number 10 enters the legend by registering a memorable double against Brazil. The career we know followed and at 49 years old, he is seen as one of the best players of all time.
Despite the years, the legendary team of 98 continues to share an unwavering bond and they showed it perfectly a few hours ago. On their respective social networks, several former world champions shared a very beautiful selfie taken recently and which brings together six of them. If we start counting everyone’s achievements, it can quickly make you dizzy: Zinedine Zidane, Bixente Lizarazu, Youri Djorkaeff, Frank Leboeuf, Fabien Barthez and Alain Boghossian, just that ! A magnificent black and white shot taken a few meters from the very chic Place Vendôme in Paris.
If Youri Djorkaeff went there with a simple “Good night Paris. Family”, with a red heart emoji on his Twitter account, Bixente Lizarazu chose a musical reference for him with a “Friends first”. In the photo, the six former players are all smiles and we feel that they must have spent a very nice evening full of good memories shared together. Frank Leboeuf did not hide his joy at this beautiful meeting either: “It feels good to have a nice evening with friends!”, he exclaims.
