Video: Zidane Playing Football With His Kids

Filed in archive Video on July 18, 2007

This is exactly why YouTube was invented. It's a great little video of Zinedine Zidane playing football in his garden (I think) with his three sons. The voiceover at the end suggests it's taken from a documentary.

Thoughts: 1) How great would it be to have an astroturf footy field in your garden? Absolutely great, that's how great, and if I ever earn even a decent amount of money (or own some property) that's the first thing I'm going to do. 2) Zidane seems like a top quality dad. 3) That older kid looks like he might have inherited the family skills. Check out some of his moves, and especially that goal right at the end. How many other pre-teens can slide tackle one of the world's greatest ever players, then flick the ball in the air and bike it in from long distance? 4) Why would ZZ want to go and play in MLS when he can play against more technically polished opposition in his own garden?
