French football was celebrating after the news that Zinedine Zidane's 18-year-old son, Enzo, appears to have chosen to represent Les Bleus ahead of Spain, reports The Guardian.
Enzo, whose full name is Enzo Alan Zidane Fernández, is known simply as Enzo Fernández (his mother's name) and plays for one of his father's former clubs, Real Madrid, where he is currently in the A team, one below the first team.
Although born in France, the teenager holds dual nationality having moved to Spain as a young boy, and has been called up by Spain's under-15 side before, while also being eligible to play for Algeria, the birthplace of his grandparents.
His father, Zinedine, said he was relaxed which country his son would choose, however the naming of Enzo in a squad by the France under-19s coach Francis Smerecki for a training camp in Clairefontaine from 3-5 March would seem to suggest a decision has been made.
"The player has decided to wear the blue jersey," declared the manager of France's youth teams and former international team-mate of Zidane Sr, Willy Sagnol. "He can still change in the future but it's his current wish to play for the French national team."
