Eibar keeper Luca Zidane: I want people to know me as Luca

Luca Zidane is eager to make a name for himself at Eibar.

The former Real Madrid goalkeeper is showing career best form with the Segunda Division outfit.

And the son of Real great Zinedine Zidane is hoping it is the beginning of him becoming known for his football in his own right.

"Here the pressure from the media is not like in other clubs. I needed to get away from the focus," he tells Relevo.

" In the football world, I want people to see me as Luca. That people should judge me based on the matches I play, and that I'm not compared to anyone else. There are people who talk about me without knowing me. It hurts.

"They say what they think, and many times it's prejudice. They don't know who I am. It's hard to hear things from people who have seen you play a game or two and don't really know who you are as a person or a football player."
