The oldest of Zinedine Zidane’s sons – Enzo made his official debut for Real Madrid against Cultural Leonesa in a match of The Spanish Cup last night. The 21-year-old midfielder came on as a substitute for Los Blancos at the break and even managed to score his first goal with Real Madrid’s shirt. I think Zinedine Zidane, the manager of Real Madrid, can now afford include his son in the squad for a La Liga match.
Enzo Zidane joined the Real Madrid academy in 2004. The midfielder was invited by Jose Mourinho to train with the first team 7 years later. The 21-year-old player spent a few seasons, playing for Real Madrid C and Real Madrid B. He recorded 5 goals in 61 matches for the Los Blancos second team.
To continue with, another player who made a great impression was the forward Mariano Diaz. The player from the Dominican Republic bagged a hat-trick. The 23-year-old attacker has scored 55 goals for all Real Madrid’s formations. He recorded his first league match in the 2-1 victory against Celta Vigo. You should expect to see him in the squad again, because, believe me, he is a very talented player!
It will be very interesting, which nation will decide Enzo playing for in the near future, because he is a French-Spanish player. In addition, Zidane’s grandparents come from Algeria. Zinedine Zidane’s uncle has scored a goal for Algeria at a World Cup. However, Enzo has recorded a match for Spain U15 in 2009, but he played twice for France U19 in 2014.
Enzo Zidane is the oldest of Zinedine Zidane’s 4 sons. All of the Enzo’s brothers – Luca, Theo and Elyaz are at the Real Madrid’s academy. Luca, who is 18 years old is a goalkeeper. So, I hope I will see more players with Zidane’s last name, playing at the biggest football stage! Enzo has the needed skills, but he must work a lot, in order to develop them and see his name on the team sheet again!
