Trained at Real Madrid, Luca Zidane had the opportunity to train regularly with the first team, especially when his illustrious father was on the bench. The 27-year-old goalkeeper even played two matches with the Bernabéu residents.
During one of these training sessions, the new Algerian international, who now plays for Granada (Spanish 2nd division), injured his shoulder following a shot from Federico Valverde. In the Terapia Picante show, the Uruguayan midfielder, known for his powerful strike, returned to this unfortunate event.
“ This is not to brag, I’m not the Hulk, but it often happened to me, in training, to injure one goalkeeper or the other. I injured one or two goalkeepers. I injured Luca Zidane’s shoulder “, confided Valverde.
“I was devastated, I thought they were going to fire me”
“I was devastated, I thought they were going to fire me. I hurt (Zinedine) Zidane’s son », added the native of Montevideo, who was obviously not kicked out by “Zizou”. He has even become one of the essential players of the Merengue club over the years.
“ Some guards were injured by my shots. Especially on the shoulder. I have really skinny legs, I don’t know who I got that from”concluded the 27-year-old midfielder about his ball striking. As a reminder, Luca Zidane and Federico Valverde met on Tuesday evening in Turin, during a friendly match between Algeria and Uruguay (0-0).
