Zidane thinks he was a better player than a coach. “I was a better footballer, of course,” he said.
Zinedine Zidane, coach of Real Madrid, surprised when answering a question that was directed at the future of Sergio Ramos, who he interpreted was about his time on the Madrid bench, stating that he will not always train, that “everything can happen” because He is considered “an atypical coach” but that right now his future “is the least of it”.
“I am not going to train 20 years, I am going to retire sooner. As I am an atypical coach, everything can happen, ”said Zidane, changing the course of his press conference, this Saturday, June 27, in a question that was not addressed to him and referred to the situation of Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid.
The coach answered four more questions about his future after that phrase, remembering the way in which he closed his first stage as a Madrid coach, leaving after the conquest of the third consecutive Champions League.
“It’s going to be like this with me, I won’t always train. I don’t know how many years I can train because I don’t plan anything in my head. I like the day to day, it is what encourages me. I don’t know how long, then I’ll do something else. ”
Then he added: In my head I have always been a footballer, I have been a player for 19 years and when they asked me if I am going to be a coach I said no and in the end I am, but it wears out a lot. We will see how long it lasted, but 20 years surely not ”.
Zidane thinks he was a better player than a coach. “I was a better footballer, of course. It was good, but there were better ones and I am happy with what I did. Above all, finish my career at Real Madrid. That is the most.”
And the French coach asked that no one draw negative conclusions from what he said. “No one should interpret what I say, it is reality, I am in the best club in the world and I think only about what I do, so I am fine no matter what happens. When people lose a game they will criticize me. Nothing changes on one side or the other ”.
“We are winning well, but we have not won anything yet. We have to keep working hard, training well, all thinking about the same thing and that makes a difference. We put the focus on what we can control and that is in the field. My future is the least of it, ”he said.
