بعد أن كان أسطورة ريال مدريد زين الدين زيدان لاعباً يُخلَّد في التاريخ بأسلوبه الفريد والوحيد من نوعه، تحول إلى مدرب أرعب أوروبا بتكتيكاته وعبقريته التي سمحت له بالسيطرة على الساحة الكروية والتتويج بالألقاب. البداية وإدارة غرفة الملابس بدأ الأسطورة زين الدين زيدان تدريب النادي الملكي بمرتب سنوي يُقدر بـ 2.5 مليون يورو، وهو مبلغ بسيط مقارنة بما حققه لاحقاً للريال. وجد زيدان أمامه كتيبة من أساطير الكرة الذين لا يُقارنون في زمنهم، أمثال كريستيانو رونالدو، وكريم بنزيما، ومارسيلو. بدلاً من فرض الأوامر الصارمة، اعتمد زيدان على كسب ثقة اللاعبين بالحديث المباشر والهدوء، خاصة في المواعيد الكبرى التي كان يفرض فيها سيطرته وتأثيره. كما اعتمد على كريستيانو رونالدو كركيزة أساسية ورأس حربة قناص يُنهي المباريات من أنصاف الفرص. المرونة التكتيكية وقراءة المباريات كان زيدان مدرباً لا يعتمد على التكتيكات المعقدة والجمود قبل المباراة، بل ينتظر بداية اللقاء ويبدأ بقرائته حرفاً بحرف من على خط التماس. بفضل تبديلاته المناسبة وتوجيهاته الدقيقة للاعبين، استطاع إخراج أفضل ما لديهم داخل الملعب. ظهر هذا الذكاء جليا...
