I'm a fan of how Zinedine Zidane ended his career, right after a World Cup.
I always wanted to be one of the best players in the world like Zinedine Zidane, so it was great that I ended up playing at West Ham against some of the best players in the world.
To play with Zinedine Zidane was the biggest honour I have had in my career...
Zinedine Zidane knows how to deal with me.
I would love to have a career like Zinedine Zidane. He stopped playing, took some time, realised he liked coaching, and started working in the youth academy. I could follow a similar path.
When Zinédine Zidane retired, he said he'd never be a manager and it wasn't in his plans. But after two years out, he missed football a lot. I think he retired a little bit early, he could have gone on for at least another season, and it would have been a pleasure for us to have him.
Zinedine Zidane, he was absolutely fantastic.
I learned a lot from Zinedine Zidane with the national team.
My footballing idol is Zinedine Zidane; he was an amazing guy on and off the field.
I'd compare myself to Zinedine Zidane - a humble guy who just happened to be the best.
Iniesta - he is the Zinedine Zidane of the team, because he can do whatever you want him to with the ball.

Steve McManaman once described Zinedine Zidane as ridiculous. You can't get a higher compliment than that.
Zinedine Zidane could be a champion sumo wrestler. He can run like a crab or a gazelle.
It was so disappointing the way it ended but, to play for England in the World Cup, was still the highlight of my career.
The best I've played against is Luis Figo. As for team-mates, it has to be Zinedine Zidane. He made things easier for everybody.
I played Zidane throughout my career, and for many players you reach a point where you learn lessons on how to handle them. But from the first match I played against him to the last, Zidane would find different ways to beat me.
