MADRID, Jan. 11 (SportsFinding) –
Real Madrid coach Zinédine Zidane has acknowledged that he looks “better” technical than in his previous stage, “strong” and “convinced” of what he is doing, and has warned of the danger of facing this Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah at Atlético de Madrid, a team “that competes very well until the end”.
“The truth is that yes, I look better (coach), well, progressing. In life we learn from situations, from the people around; how I listen a lot, progress as a coach and as a person. It's my goal. flower … It won't change. I'm here to work, I like what I do, what I give from my heart. I'm still strong and convinced of what I do in the field, “he told a news conference.
In this regard, he explained that the only thing that has changed “is the eight months” since leaving, but stressing that “the team has not changed anything.” “In the players' career there are always complicated moments, especially after having won a lot, but this is the normal life of a football player. I believe only in work, every day and with patience. 80% of the squad has not changed, but 20% yes. We want to give our fans a joy and work for that, “he said.
“There is no secret formula. If we lose two games, the same thing will happen. All we can do is work well. I have the best players, but we have to prove it. We must always prove it.”
Therefore, he appealed to focus on this Sunday's final against Atlético, and warned that they should not be trusted for the two 'Champions' finals won against Simeone. “Every game is a world. We have won and lost games against Atlético de Madrid. Tomorrow everything changes, it will not be the same game or the same teams,” he said.
“It is a very strong team always, defends very well, not only attacks well. We know the game that will play tomorrow. We can know that it will be a different game than it would be against Barcelona, but they are two very good and prepared teams,” continuous.
In addition, he removed iron from the defeat of Barça in the semifinals and criticism of the Barca coach. “The Valverde thing happens to all the coaches, I don't want to get into that. The matches are like that, I thought that Barcelona was going to win the match and not, because Atlético de Madrid competes very well until the end. That's the football, everything can happen until the last minute, “he said.
Finally, Zidane did not want to value the new Super Cup format. “The Federation put it this way, we have to accept it. We are lucky to be able to play and seize the opportunity. All the competitions we play we want to win,” he concluded.
