The son of the legendary Frenchman scored in his
first appearance for Real Madrid against Cultural Leonesa on Wednesday
and is excited to convince his father to use him more
Enzo Zidane cannot wait for more first-team opportunities as he
reflects on a "special" debut goal for Real Madrid in Wednesday's
battering of Cultural Leonesa.
The 21-year-old is following in the large footsteps of his father and
Madrid coach, Zinedine, who is a legendary figure at the Santiago
Bernabeu.
But the younger Zidane took his first steps as a first-team player in
his own right by scoring Madrid's fourth goal in the 6-1 Copa del Rey
rout of Leonesa on his competitive debut.
The midfielder was delighted to mark his bow with a goal and is determined to play more regularly in the first team.
"To score on your Real Madrid debut is always a dream and I'm really
happy it's come at the Bernabeu and with a win," he told Madrid's
official website.
"It's been a very special night. I've had to wait for my chance and
now it's here. This is the beginning and I have to keep working to get
more chances and help the team."
Zidane, a graduate of Madrid's famed youth academy, replaced Isco
early in the second half and says that the elder statesmen in Madrid's
squad are more than happy to help out the club's burgeoning talent.
"The squad treat me and all of the other younger players really
well," he added. "You learn things all the time just from watching the
best players in the world.
"What's more, there's a really good vibe, the first-team players
always give us a warm welcome, they offer us advice and are always there
to help.
"That's really important for a player like me as it allows me to enjoy my football with them."
