The former head coach of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, spoke about working in the Madrid team. His words are quoted by AS.

“At Real Madrid, we have always been available to football players. To me, that’s what makes a team strong – you have to be there for the player. If you do not understand this, you will not last long in this profession.

We are here to support them; you have to show that you are always with them. In order for the locker room to accept what you want to implement, you need to attract the players to you. If football players do not agree with everything that is offered to them – with training, with loads – then something will always be missing.

I think with us they really enjoyed the process at all levels,” said Zidane.
