What does the “Bonjour Kamel c’est Zizou” meme mean?

The line captures the joyful shock of getting a message from a football icon. It sounds like a simple, friendly greeting, almost a call between friends, yet it comes from one of the most famous French people in the world. People quote it to open a conversation in a funny way, to parody a thank-you message, or to signal that an unexpected celebrity just joined the chat. The first name “Kamel” adds to the contrast: the streamer is known by his online handle, and Zidane just uses his given name.
