Mutual recognition. Present during the eighth edition of the Dello Sport Festival, organized this Monday by La Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy, Zinedine Zidane took the opportunity to deliver his vision of current football and the players who make it up. Invited by the famous pink paper newspaper to give his opinion on the three players who impress him the most, his few words did not fail to get people talking.
The Real Madrid legend also took the opportunity to deliver a rave speech about Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, calling him a “player who thrills me when he touches the ball. » But the statement which was mainly retained in France concerns two PSG players. “They never lose the ball “, marveled “Zizou” in reference to the pair Joao Neves and Vitinha. A very nice tribute to which one of the two players did not fail to respond.
“It’s clearly a model”
Present at a press conference before the match against Hungary (Tuesday, 8:45 p.m.) in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Vitinha was very grateful to Zidane. “ “If he said it, I am grateful to him, found the Parisian. He is clearly a role model for everyone in football. And even more for a midfielder. For someone who plays in the middle, hearing someone like Zidane say that is always important, and I'm very happy about it. I just have to keep going, maintain the level and progress if possible. I would like to thank him. »
