That’s what Zidane says about his departure

After the lost championship and the end of the Champions-League– Zinédine Zidane has left Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Now he declares his resignation – and becomes downright pathetic.

Real Madrid hoped for the Spanish championship until the last day of the match. Ultimately, local rivals Atléico put the “Royal” in a row. And the Champions League ended prematurely – in the semifinals against eventual winners Chelsea.

In this respect, the resignation of Real coach Zinédine Zidane was not exactly surprising. His reason for this is surprising, however.

“I’m leaving because the club no longer trusts me”

The Frenchman explained his decision in the Spanish newspaper “AS”. The reasoning gives a deep insight. “I’m leaving because the club no longer gives me the confidence I need,” said Zidane, adding: “They don’t offer me the support to build something in the medium or long term.”

So far, so clearly. But Zidane became even more explicit. “I know that if you don’t succeed, you have to leave. But one very important thing has been forgotten here: everything I have built up in my daily work, what I have achieved in relation to the players, has been forgotten the 55 employees around the team. I’m a born winner and I was here to win trophies, “continued the Frenchman and added:” But above that are the people, the emotions, the life – and I have the feeling that these things were not appreciated and not understood, that they also keep the momentum at a big club. I was even blamed for it. “

One thing in particular annoys Zidane: “It hurt a lot when I read in the press after a loss that I would be fired if I didn’t win the next game. It hurt me and the whole team because this one Outward messages that were urgent to the media created noise within the team, they brought up doubts and misunderstandings. Thank God I had wonderful boys who stood behind me until death. “
