Zinedine
Zidane got off to a bumpy start for Real Madrid last year
after his record $68.6 million transfer from Juventus. Amateur
football accountants quickly began to suggest that the price
paid for the French midfielder had been
a mistake. They
could be right, Zidane might be worth even more. Let's audit
his account: World Cup Champion, European Champion, Serie
A champion, and now Champions League winner. Win or lose,
his ability to bend a game in his favour the way he bends
the ball around defenders has made this player the best
one. |
