Zidane takes England Legend

Valencia disrupted the natural order of La Liga, and Real Madrid’s advantage was challenged, Galacticos legend Zinedine Zidane revealed that he asked him to sign the English legend to bring Madrid back to the bass.

Zidane and Real entered the 2001/02 Champions League finals as one of the biggest knockout matches in club football history, beating quarter-finals Bayern Munich in the last four matches, while Barcelona’s rival Barcelona beat Michael Leverkusen’s elite team in the last four matches.

The French football legend is perhaps the most famous goal in the finals to start from the edge of the box and win the game 2-1.

However, this victory was the beginning of some kind of trophy drought of Madrid’s own lofty standards. They won the La Liga title the following year, but did not win another top title until 2007, and did not wait until 2011’s next Cup title, which is Copa del Rey.

Barcelona accompanied the elite competition for the English and Italian side to dominate Europe as the real president Florentino Perez adopted a superstar signing policy to regain his status as the king of the continent.

Perez has developed the habit of luring the top talent of the Premier League into the Spanish capital, and Xabi Alonso reveals his real temptation: “I am very happy with the team (Liverpool) and my teammates and feel we can do a great job.

“I’m happy on that side, but in one club you have to see the big picture, another season is too much for me. It’s very difficult to make this decision (leave), but it’s probably the best for me because if I stayed in another season, it would be uncomfortable for me.”

However, not everyone succumbed to temptation, Zidane revealed that he specifically asked Perez to sign Steven Gerrard, just to let the Liverpool captain refuse the move.

Zidane calls Gerrard the best player in the world

Indeed, Real Madrid tried to sign Gerrard again in 2005 and 2009, which could make him one of the biggest signings of the Galacticos era, with Zidane claiming that he pushed Perez to take action because he believed the Reds star was the number one player in world football.

Although he never won a league title with Liverpool, Gerrard is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in Premier League history, and his best score on the Ballon d’Ol Podium ranked third in 2005, behind Ronaldinho and Frank Lampard.

There is no doubt that Liverpool’s superstar was disappointed by his teammates in search of adding the team trophy to his personal honors, and he must doubt how his position in the game will be viewed if Zidane joins Madrid at the request of his request.
