Enzo Zidane is one of the sons of the outstanding French footballer and coach Zinedine Zidane. Enzo decided to devote his life to football just like his father. However, Zidane Jr. has not yet been able to approach the level of the great Zizou's playing and achieve equally significant success.
Enzo Zidane's full name is Enzo Alan Zidane Fernandez. The future footballer was born in Bordeaux, France on March 24, 1995. The name was given to the child in honor of the outstanding Uruguayan football player Enzo Francescoli. The desire to name the baby in honor of the famous athlete is quite understandable, because Enzo's father himself is one of the most famous football players in France and the whole world.
Childhood of Enzo Zidane
Born into the family of the great football player Zinedine Zidane, the boy showed an interest in football from an early age. In 1998, his father became the world champion, which affected the child's future hobby. Before joining the specialized children's football teams, Enzo played with his peers and older children in the yard. In 2001, the football biography of Zidane Jr. began. The first team for the young man was a club from San Jose, where the future midfielder received his first football education and basic skills in playing with the ball. In San Jose, Enzo Zidane spent three years, after which in 2004 he moved to the system of youth teams of one of the most famous football clubs in the world - Real Madrid. Enzo Zidane joined the junior teams of the "royal" club at the age of ten.
Enzo Zidane's career
Enzo Zidane played for the junior and youth club of Real Madrid. In 2013, he lost his place in the main youth team and was transferred to the backup team Castilla. In 2013 - 2014, the midfielder took part in only eight matches of the lower division of the Spanish championship in football. In these games, Enzo could not be noted for effective actions. The next year, the talent of the young footballer and his work on the field began to bring results. In the 2015-2016 season, Zidane's son took part in thirty-eight matches, in which he was able to score twice with scoring strikes.
Enzo Zidane started the new season with the expanded composition of the Galacticos main team. At that time, the head coach of Real Madrid was the footballer's father Zinedine Zidane. In mid-August 2016, Enzo Zidane was able to enter the field of the famous Santiago Bernabeu stadium for the first time in the jersey of the main team of the "cream". The debut for the senior Real Madrid team fell on the pre-season tournament of the Santiago Bernabeu Cup.
At the end of December 2016, Enzo Zidane played for Real for the first time in the King's Cup (the second most important football tournament in Spain after the domestic Champion of La Liga). The young player's football creativity manifested itself immediately. In his first cup match, Enzo struck the opponent's goal with an accurate shot.
In 2017, Enzo Zidane was included in Real Madrid's application list for the UEFA Champions League final. However, the midfielder was not lucky enough to enter the field in such an important match for the royal club.
Enzo Zidane's career after leaving Real Madrid
In 2017, Enzo Zidane moved to the Alaves club, for which he was able to enter the field for the first time in the matches of the Spanish Championship.
Since 2018, the midfielder has left the Spanish championship and went to conquer the Swiss Championship. Since that time, the rights to the footballer belong to Lausanne. However, in this club, the footballer did not manage to gain a foothold in the first team, which led to a loan to one of the teams in the lower Spanish leagues.
Not as much is known about Enzo's personal life as about the life of his famous father. It is known that at first the boy was embarrassed to take his dad's surname, so that it would not interfere with his future career (Enzo took his mother's surname). Enzo has three brothers with whom the footballer maintains a relationship.
