FORMER REAL MADRID, Juventus and France midfielder Zinedine Zidane has been rolling back the years in Zurich this evening.
Los Blancos’ sporting director is taking part in a star-studded charity match against Young Guys Bern, with all the money raised going to those affected by a hurricane in the Philippines last November. Players on show include Zizou, Cristiano Ronaldo, Davour Suker, Luis Figo and Pavel Nedved.
Those pesky Young Boys went 1-0 up on Zidane’s UNDP [United Nations Development Programme] All-Stars before the maestro intervened with this sweet backheel flick pass.
The Young Boys responded to the Frenchman’s insolence by scoring two more. At 3-0, and with Brazilian Women’s striker Marta failing to score, Zidane slammed home from just inside the box.
That goal sparked a comeback from UNDP [your new, favourite football team] and Zidane soon had a penalty to make it 7-5. Did he miss? Did he ‘eck. Nuno Gomes made it 8-5, just to rub salt in Swiss wounds.
