It is a choice that will inevitably make people speak. Even more because it is a member of the Zidane family. While he defended the colors of France in all categories of young people, from U16 to U20s, with a title of European champion with the U17 in 2015 at the end, Luca Zidane chose on Friday to change sports nationality.
The 27 -year -old goalkeeper decided to represent Algeria, the country of origin of “Zizou”, probable future coach of the Blues. A career opportunity more than a heart choice? “We do not know his ties, but he may have a tie with this country so I find it good”reacts Djibril Cissé in the show Greg's team.
“I find it a good choice. He was not too like a French team. Playing a CAN (from December 21 to January 18) and a World Cup (from June 11 to July 19, 2026) is not given to everyone: he had this possibility “adds the former tricolor international striker, now a consultant.
“Algeria should not accept”
An opinion that Loïc Tanzi does not share. Also present on the set, the journalist believes that the Algerian federation makes a mistake by naturalizing the son of the 1998 world champion.
“For him, it's great. Playing an African Cup in Morocco and a world cup behind is perfect. But Algeria should not accept ”he judges.
“They may have a goalkeeper problem but at some point, for the identity of the country … otherwise it becomes a club! Luca Zidane in Algeria, for me, no “he says. And yet, the current Granada porter could indeed face his father's golden ball, after the North American World Cup, in the event of France-Algeria. The image would be beautiful.
