From his earliest years, football had a profound impact on Zinédine Zidane. “First football memories? It is already this France-Portugal, in the semi-finals of Euro 1984, which is coming to the surface. This match is my first big memory of football and the Blues. I was a kid and I was mostly at the stadium… I was sitting on the old Vélodrome cycle path. We had places”Zinedine Zidane told The Team
“It was hot, everywhere, with a fabulous storyline. There was a big Portugal in front for one of the most beautiful matches in the history of French football and the Blues. Jean-François Domergue plays “Tutu” (Lilian Thuram) with his two goals. He never scored, like “Tutu” in 1998 against Croatia (2-1). Great, great, great team with Jean Tigana, Michel Platini. The short shorts, the legendary jersey, everything is legendary in this match. This team is incredible. Maxime Bossis, the extension, the heat, the outcome. And I was there”he added.
