Zidane happy to be back on Pitch!

Football legend Zinedine Zidane has expressed happiness at taking to the pitch again while playing for Juventus against Torino legends in a charity match to fight the disease SLA.! Although the match ended 2-2, but both teams showed really good play. Zidane was subbed in the start of second half and from his entrance, he showed an effect to the game! He assisted a goal at 55th minute which was finished off by Nedved. Brazil legend Junior gave Torino the lead in the first-half and it was doubled in the second session when Gianluigi Lentini’s shot took a wicked deflection off Mark Iuliano and went into the Juventus goal. However, the Bianconeri pulled one back when Pavel Nedved flicked the ball home from Zidane’s chipped pass on 54 minutes and 14 minutes later Sergio Porrini headed home to equalize from Grabbi's cross.
Zidane was delighted to be back on the pitch and after the match told reporters:
I am happy to come back to Italy and every time I come to Turin I enjoy it. It's a great honor to come here and for such an event. It was great to meet up with all my former team-mates again from the beginning of my career.
€223,000 have been earned just from the game itself to find a cure for SLA.
