Should Zidane have played for Algeria?

Question

Zinedine Zidane’s parents were both of Algerian descent, so should he have played for them instead of France?

Answer 1

Zidane was actually born in Marseille, and although Algeria also considered him a citizen, it was in France where he grew up and was spotted. It helped him secure a reputation as one of the finest players to have ever played the game.
