Former Nigeria U20 international Isaac Success has revealed his admiration for ex-France and Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane, so much so that the Benin City native wore his jersey to church.

The Watford striker also idolizes Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo but has picked his coach as his main idol.

“There were a lot of shops in Benin City where they make fake jerseys and I bought a Zidane one in the market and put it on wherever I went, even to church, ” Success told the Guardian UK.

“I love Zidane so much. In attack I liked Ronaldo but Zidane was the magic man who made surprises in the game.

“Watching him, I said: ‘OK, I want to try to make surprises when I have the chance.”

A product of BJ Foundation, Success was the top scorer of the 2013 Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco with seven goals from five games, which earned him a move to Udinese.
