VIDEO: Zinedine Zidane’s son Theo looks to have plenty of Zizou in him as he scores stunner for Madrid U12s

Composure runs in the family

Darragh Murphy

At 12 years old, most fathers are thinking about teaching their sons how to shave or when to have “the talk” with them.

Not if you’re one of the greatest footballers of all time, then you’re solely focused on passing your skills on to your kids.

Theo Fernandez may not share a last name with  his father, Zinedine Zidane, but he shares a whole bunch of his dad’s coolness under pressure as he showed with this beauty for Real Madrid’s U12 outfit.

With the ball bouncing in the box, he looked likely to just swing a left leg at it. But Fernandez took a touch to wrongfoot his marker before dinking the ball into the top-corner.

Beautiful stuff to make any father proud and, with three of Zizou’s other sons on the books at Madrid, the former French international must be beaming with pride on a daily basis.
