Well-known names from the football world participate, and Chris describes it as 'fun football'.&nbsp; Chris van Nijnatten has an extensive track record in football journalism. He started his journalism career in the late 1970s at BN DeStem as a sports journalist, made a stint at Sport International, and was chief football editor and a regular follower of the Dutch national team at Algemeen Dagblad. Later, he was briefly chief football editor at NOS Sport, and then became senior spokesperson at the KNVB. It will therefore not surprise you that Chris experienced Zidane up close during this 2006 World Cup final. So, who better to introduce this special film about one of the best French footballers ever than football expert and journalist Chris van Nijnatten?</li></ul>

Twenty years later (between the semi-final and final of the 2026 World Cup), Bier, Burgers & de Bal delves into the life of French football star Zinédine Zidane.
