PARIS footballer NN Ze Turbo speaks about the origin of his nickname

Transfer “PARI NN” Ze Turbo told MATCH PRIME that they started calling him by his nickname since childhood because of the comparison to a car.

Ze Turbo moved to “BET NN” in the summer of 2023. Since then, the 27-year-old Guinean has played 11 matches with the club, scoring two goals and providing an assist. The player’s real name is José Correa.

— I understand that it is an unofficial name. I really am José Correa. It’s like a nickname or nickname. I was called that since childhood. Where does it come from? In Africa there were huge black cars, they were called “Turbo”.

When I was born, my sister came to my mother in the hospital and asked, “Mom, what happened?” I thought we were having a boy, not Turbo. I think they nicknamed me that because of my physique, and not because I’m so fast, like “Turbo”.

My parents don’t call me that, although my friends call me Turbo. I really like it, it’s even funny. When I was at the Sporting training center, that’s what they called me. Physically, I was a little better than everyone. I wouldn’t say I’m as fast as a car. On short distances I can develop good speed, but certainly not on long tracks,” Ze Turbo said on the air of the show “Nos Étrangers” on the MATCH PREMIER television channel.

The Nizhny Novgorod team is in eighth place in the WORLD RPL standings, gaining 17 points in 12 matches.
