Racing Santander signing Luca Zidane: No-one understands the family name

Real Madrid goalkeeper Luca Zidane is happy with his loan move to Racing Santander.

The Frenchman will spend the season with Santander.

He told Marca: "I thought it was the best moment. I was looking to have more game time and show what I can do, what I'm worth and Racing gave me that opportunity. I had other offers, but Racing was the one that interested me the most. It's a historic club and I'm here."

On being a Zidane, Luca added: "We're a very footballing family. We've always spoken about football. In fact, my mother's a bit fed up of it. She tells us that we're always talking about football, about the same thing. We've always been a very footballing family. We speak and play football between us. I'm glad we have the same passion.

"People talk without knowing what we're like. They talk about the sons, but they really talk about the surname, about Zidane. They don't know what we're like, what Enzo, Luca, Theo or Elyaz are like. They only talk about the surname, without knowing anything."
