But when your name is Zinedine Zidane, and with a lane record like yours, that army a players to uncover some-more respect…
A bit, maybe. But, some-more than any World Cup or European Cup winner’s medals, we trust my formula as a manager are what count. The critical thing is that a players trust in my message, in what I’m putting together. If a players have faith in you, we can go a prolonged way.
