Zidane still does not want to talk about his future, whether he will be content to simply just play in charity matches or whether he would return to resurrect his career. Personally I really think he should just get out of retirement. The man still have several months, if not years, of his playing career left.
French soccer legend Zinedine Zidane brushed off questions Saturday about whether he would come out of retirement to play in the United States and follow in the footsteps of former Real Madrid teammate David Beckham.
Zidane was in Thailand for a charity match that was billed as his first match since the 2006 World Cup, where he famously headbutted an Italian opponent Marco Materazzi during the final and ended his career with a red card. France went on to lose to Italy on penalty kicks.
There has been speculation that the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year might follow Beckham’s lucrative switch to play club soccer in the U.S.
Zidane repeatedly refused to take questions about his future plans, and a member of his entourage told reporters that Zidane would not talk to them at all if such queries continued.
“I’ve found a new world after retirement,” Zidane told a news conference. “I’m very excited to experience new things such as playing in this match.”
Somehow Zizou does not struck me as the charity player-type, but maybe that is just me.
