This is the kind of rumor that is a hit in Spain. In the aftermath of the painful defeat in the Champions League on the lawn of Chakhtar Donetsk, Zinedine Zidane would have met with the managers of the locker room. Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos meet with the French technician to take stock of this complicated start to the season, but especially how to achieve a perfect month of December when the Frenchman is threatened at his post.

From this discussion would have arisen a request from the players: to establish a strong starting eleven to face a series of meetings: Borussia Mönchengladbach, Sevilla FC, Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Eibar and Granada.

“No, that doesn’t happen here”

Result? A series of six successes which allows the Merengue to take first place in their group in the Champions League, as well as to establish themselves as co-leader of La Liga. Asked about this summit meeting at a press conference, “Zizou” firmly denied this information, explaining that the coaching decisions did not come from the players, but from his technical staff.

“A meeting to ask for that? No, that doesn’t happen here. I’m the coach and I decide with my staff. The players don’t get involved in these things. What they want, I do. I am convinced, it is to win matches “he thus indicated. A good way to put an end to the information.
