Football legend Zinedine Zidane kicked off his China tour in late November, marking his return seven years after his last visit. From Shanghai's shiny skyscrapers to university pitches, he kept fans on their toes! ⚽️
In Shanghai, Zidane teamed up with Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Qibao High School for a masterclass, sharing his signature moves and pro tips with young talents. Imagine schooling your classmates with Zidane's legendary left-foot curl! 🎓👟
But it wasn't all drills and tactics. Zidane dove into local culture, trying his hand at jianzi (shuttlecock kicking) with neighborhood players in one of Shanghai's lanes. He even reminisced about watching mahjong during his last trip—proof that football and cultural exchanges go hand-in-hand. 🏮🀄️
With the upcoming World Cup vibes rising, this tour isn't just about promos—it's a bridge between football and culture for a new generation across Asia. Who knows where Zidane will kick off next? Stay tuned! 🌏
