Zidane responds to rumors of his departure from Real Madrid


 French statements before the last round of La Liga

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane believes the Spanish team could have been better without him.

Many speculations have been raised about Zidane's fate this season, whether by leaving or by staying with Real for a longer period.

The team has the opportunity to win the Spanish League, if things go in his favor in the last round when he plays against Villarreal on Saturday.

Zidane said at the match press conference: "Can Real Madrid be better than Donnie as a coach? Yes, of course."

He added, "At a time when everyone criticized me, I asked to be allowed to work. This is part of football. We are the champions of the league last season and the players deserved the opportunity." As for his future: "It is the same question. I will not answer that. Tomorrow we will play an important match and this is what I care about."

On the failure to achieve the league: "The players cannot be blamed if that happened. There were many injuries. Maybe there are some things for me. You can always do a better job and I always criticize myself."

Hazard's post: "He has a problem, but it is not a big deal. We do not want to risk. If he does not train with the team today, he will not participate tomorrow."

Season Rating: "In 2017 we won the last game and this is the joy of the Spanish League. Tomorrow we will see if we reach 10 or 9.5 out of 10 in the final evaluation of the season."

Ramos appears: "Yes, he will be with us and you will see him tomorrow in the match."

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone talked about his match with Real Valladolid in the last round of La Liga.

The Argentine said: "It is final, two teams are fighting for different goals, and both of them will sacrifice their lives for this goal."

He added: "We will try to focus on our game only. We also understand that Valladolid has different needs for confrontation, but the goal is one and that is to win."


It is noteworthy that Atletico occupies first place in the La Liga table before the last round with 83 points, two points behind Real Madrid II.
