Throughout his playing career Zinedine Zidane gave us plenty of iconic moments.
But while the former French captain would rather we remember him for his Champions League-winning volley against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002, for many of us it will always be his headbutt on Marco Materazzi in the World Cup final four years later.
Which is why it makes his assessment of his footballing career before Real Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final defeat of Wolfsburg so strange.
Los Blancos came into the game trailing 2-0 on aggregate, and the Frenchman was asked how his players would cope with such a deficit.
And while the advice he gives is sound, his memories of his time as a player are not…
Zidane: "You should not go crazy, as anything can happen in football. I never lost my head as a player, and will never do so as a coach.”
