Always free from any commitment, Zinedine Zidane treated himself to a surprise interview with the strong man of the XV of France, Antoine Dupont.
Two giants have met. 1998 world champion and winner of Euro 2000 with France, Zinedine Zidane had a little interview with the man who has dazzled rugby fans for several seasons, Antoine Dupont. An interview which somewhat shook up the Stade Toulousain player, obviously impressed to find himself sitting on the same sofa with “Zizou” for a tasty tête-à-tête.
The meeting was made possible by Adidas and, although in front of the former tricolor glory, Antoine Dupont visibly had difficulty believing what was happening. “ I did not expect that. People were starting to talk to me about it. I knew it was going to feel weird. We’re so used to seeing him on TV, everywhere, since we were little, so it’s weird to see him in real life. » In an atmosphere which relaxed slowly but surely, the two men notably compared their characters.
Shy, but…
And Zinedine Zidane quickly drew a parallel. “ Me, Antoine, this is the first time I’ve seen him and I see a little bit of myself in him. It’s also this side, off the field, quiet. I’m a little shy, a little reserved, a little thingy, a little out of place. And that’s what’s good. And on the pitch, I give what it takes. » A common character trait which promises more than ever a great career path for Antoine Dupont.
