ZINEDINE ZIDANE is back on the sidelines of a football field – but only as part of Adidas’ star-studded new World Cup advert.
The former Real Madrid manager is among a host of superstars from around the globe to have appeared in the sportswear giant’s campaign.
Zidane, who left Real Madrid last week after leading the club to an unprecedented third consecutive Champions League trophy, is pitch-side in a five-a-side cage match.
England’s Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard both feature in the game, as well as Mohamed Salah, Heung-Min Son, Roberto Firmino and David de Gea.
The advert starts and ends with Adidas and football’s most valuable asset, Lionel Messi.
The Argentinean is seen striding through a studio followed by shots of the German sportswear giant’s most well-known stars.
Paul Pogba, Luis Suarez and former England captain David Beckham all feature, as well as Jose Mourinho, the Manchester United manager, who is up against Zidane in the cage match.
Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil appears as well as Gabriel Jesus, the Manchester City striker who is making his first appearance at a World Cup for Brazil.
