Who is Zidane? You're Having a Laugh, Right?
Posted February 19, 2008 Posted Under: OBJ: Chris
Zidane hasn’t been out of football for very long, yet it seems that not everyone in France remembers who their French savior is.
Ronaldo is in hospital in Paris having undergone surgery for the career-threatening ruptured tendon in his knee that he suffered in last Wednesday’s match. While Ronaldo has been given many messages of support from fans all over the world, yet Zidane called the hospital to offer his own personally. It was more difficult than Zidane thought it would be because the hospital operator didn’t recognize Zidane’s name, and didn’t allow him to speak to Ronaldo.
Zidane retired only two years ago do people have such short memories that one of the best players of all time can’t talk to another great? Quite funny and also scary right?

That's pretty funny Chris, it's rediculous that in a place like France, the man Zizzou, can't get a simple thing done. Tyler Bandito, Cal.

My family is from France, and my parents would kill me if I didn't know who Zidane was, and recognize who he was. Maybe she thought it was a hoax? Just a thought.
