A page has turned this summer. For the first time in more than two decades, no Zidane is playing at Real Madrid. Consequence of the departure of Théo Zidane, who had been playing for several seasons with Castilla. Released by the merengue club, the 22-year-old midfielder has signed with Cordoba, recently promoted to the Spanish D2.
“Córdoba Football Club is pleased to announce the incorporation of Théo Zidane Fernández. Théo, a midfielder of great talent and great projection, has signed a contract that binds him to our club for the next two seasons. The Cordoba entity acquires the services of a young talent from La Fábrica Madrid and his promising future makes him an asset for the club”, the Blanquiverdes rejoiced at the beginning of summer.
A start in four matches
But Théo Zidane’s debut in Cordoba has been complicated to say the least. Both collectively and on a personal level. The newly promoted Andalusian club has been struggling since the start of the season. After four matches, the club has not won a single match and with two meager draws for two defeats, it is at 21e championship place, out of 22 teams.
On Saturday, Cordoba could do no better than 0-0 in the derby against Malaga, and Théo Zidane, watched by his parents and his older brother Luca, had to settle for a place on the bench, only coming on in the 82nd minute.e minute. And the former U20 international’s stint almost ended short as he narrowly escaped being sent off just five minutes after coming on as a substitute following a rough intervention.
In four matches, he has only started once and is struggling to show his best and meet the expectations placed on him.
