Luca Zidane has insisted that being associated to his father Zinedine doesn't weigh down on him and that he's proud of having his name.
The goalkeeper has left Real Madrid for a season on loan at Racing Santander and spoke to MARCA in depth about his life as a Zidane.
What did you think when you heard people say that Enzo or you played because of your surname?
"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."
I'm one of those that thinks people have criticised Zinedine Zidane without knowing how he acts.
"Those that know my father know that he can't do this. Last season I was with my father as coach and father. They are different things. At Valdebebas it was all work and sport. At home we're father and son, but professionals at the club."
Has he had a go at you?
"At home, yes. I don't remember at Valdebebas, but at home, yes."
Luca Zidane has always been sounded out for his mistakes, but no one speaks about the good things.
"It's logical, people pay more attention to mistakes than the good things. It's always been like that in football. I'm used to people talking bad about me. I'm focussed on my job, in what I love. I'm very clear in what I want and I have big ambitions to get to the top."
And what is your ambition?
"Reaching the highest possible level, being a great goalkeeper."
Who is your goalkeeping role model?
"I've been with Keylor [Navas] and Thibaut [Courtois]. They're two incredible goalkeepers. I've focussed a lot of them. I've always had a great relationship with them. I'm very grateful for having two goalkeepers like them with me."
What is Luca like as a goalkeeper?
"It's difficult to describe yourself. I'm a goalkeeper with lots of personality, which is noticeable. I think I'm agile in goal, good at one-on-ones, good with my feet... that's it."
Why are you a goalkeeper when your father is one of the best attacking players in history?
"Sometimes I ask myself that. It's Enzo's fault. I played football with him from a young age and, because I was younger, he made me go in goal. I always had to go in goal because Enzo was older. He told me I was quite good. I have a different personality and I don't like it when people compare me with my father and being a goalkeeper is difficult to compare myself with him."
Have you given up being like him?
"Not at all. I've always said that I admire my father, like any son. We know what he's done as a footballer. I'm very proud to have this surname, but I want to be called Luca in football and not Luca compared with my father."
Does the Zidane surname weigh down on you?
"No, it doesn't weigh down on me. I'm used to comparisons. I'm proud to have this surname. You can't compare yourself with your father in footballing terms. Everyone has their own sporting career. I'm on one side and my father is on another."
Who is the best out of the four Zidane brothers?
"You can't say. I'm sure that I'm the worst."
Are there arguments in matches at home?
"Yes, yes. There's lots of bickering. All four of us are very competitive and my father is the referee sometimes, so there are no fights. Competitive? Yes, but with your brothers, it's a bit softer."
What did your father say when you told him you'd decided to leave?
"I always make my own decisions, but he advised me to come to Racing for what it represents. He told me that if I'm happy, he's happy."
