In the middle of the Vendée Globe race, skipper Benjamin Ferré received a surprise video message from Zinedine Zidane for Christmas.
In the midst of the Vendée Globe adventure, skipper Benjamin Ferré, currently 22nd in the ranking, received a memorable surprise for Christmas: a video message from French football icon, Zinédine Zidane. On board his sailboat “Monnoyeur-Duo for a Job”, off the coast of New Zealand, the sailor shared his emotion at this unexpected gesture.
“Sick thing!” »
In a video, Zidane sends his wishes to Benjamin Ferré: “Courage, I know you are all alone in the middle of the ocean, but we are thinking of you. Merry Christmas ! ». This message upset the sailor, a great admirer of Zizou since childhood: “There is Zizou who wishes me a Merry Christmas! Damn, that’s a great gift! Once we have received this, we can die peacefully… but as late as possible. »
With humor and gratitude, Benjamin Ferré responded by offering a spectacular view of the South Seas to Zidane: “Zizou, I’m giving you this 360-degree view for Christmas. We are far from everything, with an absolutely incredible sky. »
A skipper who has always been a fan of Zidane
A big supporter of Stade Rennais, Ferré often expressed his admiration for Zidane, going so far as to dedicate an entire wall of his bedroom to his idol when he lived in Marseille. “I even wrote a letter to Zizou to find out if he didn’t want to receive me in Madrid! “, he confided. This unique interaction will undoubtedly remain engraved in the skipper’s memories.
