While waiting for the big return of Zinédine Zidane to the Real Madrid bench, his third son Théo, Castilla midfielder, is summoned by Carlo Ancelotti for the Champions League match against Napoli.
Great first for Théo Zidane! At 21, while playing his second season with Real Madrid’s B team, the central midfielder was promoted to the first team for the Champions League clash against Napoli on Wednesday evening at home. The residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu Stadium must not lose to ensure first place.
“ I have a lot of confidence in them. Raul does a fantastic job “, launched Carlo Ancelotti, who has already launched playmaker Nicolas Paz and winger Gonzalo Garcia against Cadiz last Saturday in La Liga. The Italian coach is in fact deprived of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and now Luka Modric in the midfield, as well as Vinicius in the offensive sector.
After his big brothers Enzo and Luca, Théo, ex-U20 tricolor, could therefore have the chance to make his big debut with his training club. This will perhaps attract a certain Zinédine Zidane to the Bernabéu and that would revive the rumors, while “Zizou” would be the “ favorite » by Florentino Pérez for the succession of Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season.
