Zinedine Zidane Football Boots - no gold on show in Thailand

Zinedine Zidane wears Adidas Predator Absolute Power and remains tightlipped

The football boots were not golden as we had hoped, but French footballing legend Zinedine Zidane played in red Adidas Predator Absolute Power football boots, and showed his golden touch was still there for all to see. In an event promoting the Adidas Predator versus Tunit campaign, Zidane thrilled a crowd of 20,000 fans in Chiang Mai, Thailand, displaying his magnetic ball control, slalom runs, drag-backs, stepovers and his famous Zidane Roulette.

Zidane refused to answer questions about coming out of retirement to join David Beckham in the United States. “I’ve found a new world after retirement,” Zidane said at a news conference. “I’m very excited to experience new things such as playing in this match.”

Zidane can be seen next on 19th March at the Stade du VĂ©lodrome in Marseille, France, alongside Ronaldo each captaining an international team - including Chelsea’s Didier Drogba - in a friendly in aid of the United Nations Development Programme. Nike and Adidas will be providing the sports equipment for the teams. With Zidane turning to the Adidas Predator Absolute Power football boot, was the World Cup the last ever showing of the breathtaking, all-gold Adidas Predator?

Return of the man in the Golden Football Boots - Zinedine Zidane

Zidane-GoldZinedine Zidane is back in action this weekend and the question we are all asking is will he be wearing his famous golden boots the Adidas Predator Gold? Zidane will be playing in a charity match in Chiang, Thailand along with star players from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The event is sponsored by Adidas Thailand.

The French striker will play for 20 minutes in the first half with one side, and then switch sides to play for 20 minutes in the second half for the opposing team in an event to raise funds for a local Aids charity.

Zidane and his Adidas Predator Gold were last seen at last year’s World Cup final in Germany. Recently rumours have seen Zidane being linked with a move to the US MLS league, in particular Chicago based Fire and New York’s Red Bulls, but nothing has been confirmed.

We’d love to see Zidane lace up his football boots again, just so we can see his magic footwork again and to remind the world that he was not just a player who head butted an opponent, but was at his peak the best player of his generation, whose footy boots were a joy to watch.

Ronaldinho - Football Boots Need To Do The Talking

Barcelona face Chelsea this evening, many pundits are saying this is a must win game for Barca.


ronaldhino football bootsIf they want to match their efforts of last year, which saw Barca claim the Champions League crown, Barca must finish the group in one of the top two places. Should they struggle tonight, it would leave a very tricky final game against Werder Bremen, and an away game at Levski Sofia to guarantee progress into the next round.
Much of the weight of responsibility will once again be on the shoulders of the Brazilian super striker Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho

Pundits around the globe have been discussing Ronaldo de Assis Moreira’s (Ronaldinho) poor form this season. However, he hit back with perfect timing at the weekend, scoring two goals in the clash with Recreativo Huelva, taking his tally to six for the season.

It has been mentioned that a girl named Mariana de Melo is to blame for his poor form. The Argentine glamour model said “Ronaldinho is mad for me, he cannot sleep at night because I’m always in his mind.” More here “Ronaldinho’s WAG Mariana de Melo
