A legendary player with a big heart. Following the fires that ravaged northern Algeria for more than a week, Zinédine Zidane is said to have made an exceptional donation to help the victims.
According to the newspaper The team, which is itself based on information from the African media “Shoot Africa”, the French coach, who left Real Madrid last May, would indeed have signed a check for two million euros to help the victims.
The sum, writes the sports daily, “would be paid to local associations which come to the aid of the victims of the disaster”.
Zidane the generous
Known for his modesty and discretion, “Zizou” did not, unsurprisingly, comment on the information.
The fact remains that if the former 98 world champion is legendary for his sporting performances, he is just as much for his generosity, which is also famous.
For example, in July 2020, press information indicated that he had made several donations to hospitals in his parents’ country of origin, hard hit by the coronavirus crisis.
