[ Personal ] Zinedine Zidane


M. Mortazavi and Zinedine Zidane: November 19, 2004, Rey Juan Carlos Hotel, Barcelona.

I'd written about running into Zinedine Zidane earlier.

By popular demand, I'm now posting the picture we took together.

This is not a cardboard stand-in. It's the real people, in the real places.

(I'm afraid, the picture has much better contrast when viewed on my laptop than when viewed on this large desktop screen I'm using to post it.)

Max, you should tell us all how to get to go on biz trips where you go to cool places, stay in luxury hotels and meet sporting legends.

I presume David Beckham was your first choice but that he was too busy being a super star ;)

There was no secret. Really! ! !

It was by pure luck and accident that I was there. I had not even planned to stay there. My manager wanted me to visit Trondheim offices and I had to stay for Saturday. I was totally surprised when a whole section of the hotel was turned off-limits Friday evening, when the picture was taken. Yes, all Madrid players were there, including Beckham and Ronaldo. They didn't have a happy day the next day. Barcelona won 3-0 with only one shot on its goal, and that by Zidane.

Awesome! I downloaded the picture and worked on it in Photoshop. Look for in it email.

Thank you very much. Something seems to be happening to the quality when it is downloaded to the weblog server.
