A big fan of Zinedine Zidane, Calogero experienced an immense “moment of solitude” because of the French world champion.
Present in Bordeaux last week for the 100th anniversary of Parc Lescure, Zinedine Zidane did not only delight the 32,000 viewers present at the Stade Chaban-Delmas. The same was true of the players invited for the occasion, whether their teammates or their opponents. While Redouane Boughareba tried to negotiate a change of team to play alongside his idol, Julien Féret, Thibault Giresse and Daniel van Buyten looked at him with the eyes of enamored fans.
But they are not the first to be impressed by the 1998 world champion during a charity match. It was the same in the past for Calogero as the singer told the microphone of the show The Good Sunday Show on RTL. So much so that the interpreter of Face à la mer lost his means against the former captain of the Blues.
Zidane’s response
“ He gave me a pass of extraordinary simplicity and I didn’t catch up, I crushed the ball. Yet I know how to catch a ball! I don’t play very well, but I know that.” he told Bruno Guillon’s microphone, emphasizing this immense moment of solitude: “ The stadium was full, in addition ! It was in Grenoble, and the ball went under my foot! It was a nightmare, a huge nightmare! »
Calogero was nevertheless comforted by Zizou himself, the former midfielder visibly finding the words to make him forget this sequence. “He consoled me by saying, ‘But Calo, me anyway, if I take a guitar, it would be a disaster “, launched the native of Marseille to the singer, a big fan of the Blues and who “ only becomes a footballer when there is a big competition”unlike his brothers, “completely crazy about football”.
