“I am not going to train 20 years, I am an atypical trainer”

MADRID – Zinedine Zidane took advantage of the press conference prior to the Real Madrid game against Espanyol to declare that he will not be “20 years” at Real Madrid because he is an “atypical” coach.

“I am not going to train 20 years. I’m going to retire as soon as possible. I am an atypical coach. It will be like that with me. I am not planning anything in my head. What animates me is the day to day. Even when? I do not know. In my head I have always been a footballer and, when they asked me if I was going to be a coach, I always said no and look … But 20 years surely will not last.

Before the answer, which surprised those attending the telematic press conference, the questions focused on the continuity of Zidane as a white coach, although the Frenchman wanted to stress that he is going “day by day”.

“I am lucky to be able to be here and train here. I don’t like the word ‘luck’, but you have to believe in what you do and enjoy it. And not what I don’t have. I am lucky to train the best in the best club in the world. And I say more: I enjoy games but above all I enjoy more in training. There is already the ostia ”.

The rival of this day will be Espanyol whose coach, “Pitu” Abelardo, was dismissed on Saturday morning. Zidane did not want to go too deep into Espanyol’s decision but took the opportunity to dedicate a few words to the former parakeet coach: “I am very sorry for Abelardo because these are difficult times for him.”

He did go deeper in emphasizing the message that has been accompanying him for days: he does not want any kind of confidence despite playing against the bottom team.

“We know that we have to fight to the end. Nothing changes. Before there were 11 finals missing, now 7. We have to think that tomorrow Espanyol will make it very difficult for us because they will fight until the end. We are going to play the game to the fullest ”, highlighted the white coach.

Zidane stressed up to two times that “we have not won anything and we are not going to trust ourselves”, after having reaped full of victories in the four days played after the isolation by COVID-19. The key, for Zizou, is defensive work.

“Insurance. The defensive thing, and I like to play more, but it is the most important thing. We have the advantage with the defense we have. And with the players who are engaged. It is everyone’s business. We have team strength and an attitude that is very important in winning great things. ”
