Amusingly, Blackburn Rovers turned down the chance to sign Zinedine Zidane because they already had Tim Sherwood, while Newcastle didn't think that the elegant Frenchman was good enough to play in the Championship - let alone the Premier League.
That left the way clear for Juventus to sign Zidane in the summer of 1996 for just €3.6m, meaning that they made a rather tidy profit when they sold the attacking midfielder on to Real Madrid five years later for a world-record €77.5m.
زمان بازیگری زیدان ووقتی که بردو بود ،،مدیرای بلکبرن و نیوکاسل فرصت جذب زیدان رو داشتند ولی به هر دلیلی نخریدنش
بلکبرن گفته ما تیم شروود رو داریم ،زیدان رو نمیخوایم!!
یونایتد هم جایی خوندم گفته بودن که کانتونا رو داریم پس فعلا به زیدان نیاز نداریم!!
