Zinedine Zidane at a press conference on the eve of Real Madrid-PSG, November 25, 2019. - Manu Fernandez / AP / SIPA

Magnificent story than that told by the Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia . On Saturday, as he gave way before entering a roundabout in the Valdebebas area, on the outskirts of Madrid, a driver was hit from the rear by a luxury car. Ignacio Fernandez then got out of his vehicle to see the damage and there, surprise, he came face to face with a driver named Zinédine Zidane. The Real Madrid coach went to the Madrid training center that morning to lead the Merengue day session.

"As soon as I saw him, I recognized him and I said to him:" I would have liked to meet you in other circumstances but it is not bad either "", tells this manager of a furniture store. For fear of seeing a crowd gather around them, not to mention the Madrid press fond of this kind of anecdote, Zizou then asks the driver if he agrees to settle this dispute later by phone. Ignacio Fernandez agrees, but not without first asking Zidane for a selfie. It's a good war.

"I asked him to take a selfie because otherwise people would not believe me when I tell them I hit Zidane. He very kindly said yes. He took off his cap and we took the photo, ”he says.

It was only several days after the hanging that the man received a phone call. He is not the 98 world champion on the phone but one of his representatives. "He told me that Zidane was very grateful," said the driver. That day, he was in a hurry because he was going to training and he thanked me for not having kept him by asking him to sign t-shirts or match tickets. It deserves a signed shirt all that.
