Zidane’s thigh was the object of all attention in 2002. Consequence of a muscle injury contracted during the last preparation match for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. For three weeks, she was closely scrutinized while the Blues, deprived of their playing master, lived a real nightmare for their debut at the World Cup. Despite obvious discomfort, the former Bordeaux player was going to return for the third match against Denmark but was a complete loss.

But Zinedine Zidane’s thigh suffered another serious injury after his career. The hero of July 12, 1998 was stabbed there. Not during an attack but during an act worthy of a circus. With Benjamin Castaldi in the role of the knife thrower – or almost –… The former Loft presenter spoke about this accident on Europe 2.

“Zinedine Zidane started to bleed”

“I presented a special Ela, Zidane’s association, on TF1 and we had a knife thrower number that I performed with Jean-Pierre Foucault. We put Zidane in the target, we put balls, notably one between his legs. And Zidane was made to believe that Jean-Pierre Foucault was going to throw knives at him. Zidane was blindfolded”he told the microphone of Europe 2.

“So he thought that Jean-Pierre Foucault was going to throw the knives and in fact I was right next to the target to directly plant the knife in his hand. But when I was about to puncture the balloon that was between his legs, I took his thigh and made a 15 centimeter cut, he confided. He obviously started peeing blood. He was really cut. Fortunately, he no longer played football. But he was going on vacation right after, and his vacation in the sun and the sea was a little compromised. »
