\n\tZinedine Zidane has hailed Paris Saint-Germain target David Beckham, with the former Ballon d\u2019Or winner claiming the LA Galaxy midfielder can do things he “couldn\u2019t do”.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 36-year-old is widely expected to complete a high-profile move from the MLS to Ligue 1 in the coming days, with his contract in the USA coming to an end on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Zidane, a former Real Madrid team-mate, has spoken in glowing terms of the 115-times-capped England midfielder\u2019s attitude in an interview with France Football.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHe said, “I don\u2019t know how he manages to be so at ease outwardly on the pitch. He is almost a pop star. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“I couldn\u2019t do that. It is incredible, especially given that he is as timid as me.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe Real Madrid Director of Football added that Beckham\u2019s arrival at the Bernabeu in 2003 made his own job easier in midfield.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, “His arrival at Real made it possible to share the roles. I had less responsibility. In any case, that is the feeling I had.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“When he came to Real, he was worried about what the team thought of him. In his integration, he worried about everything that was said about him in the media, and that it would constitute a problem for his performances.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
