Almeria winger Crusat: Zidane changed course of my career
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 11/10/2009 - 06:14
Almeria winger Albert Crusat says Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane changed the course of his career as a youngster.
At 20, Crusat was a promising midfielder playing for Juande Ramos' Espanyol and he recalls: "At one corner, Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane fell on me, fracturing my collarbone.

Crusat has since rebuilt his career at Almeria, where he was outstanding last season.
