Zidane met with the press before the clash against Athletic Bilbao. He talked about the two upcoming matches left in the La Liga tournament this season.
Players give 100% on the pitch
Zinedine noted that he is very proud of the team as a whole. French coach admitted that all the players give 100% on and off the pitch. They try to work harder every single day and it seems that Zidane is very grateful for everyone that kept working hard the whole season. Zidane admitted that the current season was an emotional roller-coaster because of the ups and down, injuries and covid-cases. He noted that everything will end perfectly for the team and fans. Zidane believes that if they put more pressure on Atletico, Diego Simeone’s team may lose points. At the same time, Zinedine said that Real Madrid players have to focus only on particular matches.
Game against Athletic Bilbao
Real Madrid’s coach said that players are ready to give 100% against Athletic Bilbao. As you may know, Toni Kroos had a connection with the person with covid-19, so he has to self-isolate. Real Madrid tested him for the covid but currently Toni is negative and he will try to isolate. It seems that Toni Kroos’ season with Real Madrid is over because La Liga ends in 7 days and Toni would not be able to come from self-isolation in 7 days because of the medical report. Marvin is also injured and it happened against Granada. Fans are furious because Marvin got a serious injury and the referee has not even shown a yellow card to the Granada’s player.
Relationship with the squad
Zidane said that the Real Madrid dressing room is very positive and spirit is always on point. Team players want to win more and that’s why they have contracts with Real Madrid. Zidane noted that Los Blancos is always a place of footballers that have an inner will to win.
