There have been many discussions in Spain and around the world about the penalty drama during Real Madrid’s 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla last weekend, but the Frenchman wants to focus on football instead.
Zidane focuses on upcoming three LaLiga games
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane made it clear that Los Blancos will not rely on referees in these final three season games. There have been many discussions in Spain and around the world about the penalty drama during Real Madrid’s 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla last weekend, but the Frenchman wants to focus on football instead. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore,” Zidane said during Wednesday’s pre-match press conference. “I have faith in football, and everyone does their job. So I won’t say anything else because if I say something, there will be a fuss. We want to do our job.” There has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Zidane’s potential departure from Real Madrid at the end of the season, and the 48-year-old was asked twice about his future, to which he had the same answer.
If Real Madrid need players, they always use Castilla
“I don’t think about the future; I only think about the three remaining games,” he replied. Marvin Park may have another chance to play in the starting lineup due to Real Madrid’s excess of injuries in defence, so how will Raul Gonzalez feel about having Zidane take one of his players a few days before Castilla’s playoff tie against Ibiza? “If we need players, we will always use Castilla,” he stated. “We get along well with Raul, and we are in full communication to get things done.” Real Madrid have somehow managed to stay in the title race despite having 60 injuries this season, and the French coach wants his team to keep fighting until the end. “We can win or lose La Liga. The most important thing is to give everything in every game. And we have done that,” Zidane said.
“The season is very long, and there are good and bad moments. I won’t say it was a bad season. When we won LaLiga in 2017, it was a phenomenal season, but we only became champions on the last matchday. The most important thing is to give everything; you can’t control the rest, only what we can do.”
