“I played with Platoche and Zizou. I must be the only one.” is a privileged Luis Fernandez. And probably one of the best position to talk about the two best players in the history of French football. Luckily, one of them, the youngest, has access to the bench of Real Madrid. Monday, Zidane was appointed in place of Rafael Benitez. And now, a question arises: Does the shoulders to direct the most prestigious club in the world? Luis Fernandez, who came to present his autobiography Eurosport.fr “Luis” (Hugo Sport editions, exit 7 January), is yes. A big yes.
“I know Zizou. In Cannes, it began. I was 32 and I was on the end, he recalls. I’ve seen it happen , enter a locker room … I often saw her father, brothers and sisters He came home, I was bringing home It was something that young people today do not have.. humility and education. We always stayed in contact and it is always the same. “
“This is never far from the ground”
If Didier Deschamps and Laurent Blanc, other flagships of generating 98 coaches were already in the soul when they dragged their cleats across Europe, Zidane did not seem promised to channel the bench. “You can never imagine that become coach Cutting Fernandez. Myself, I did not know I would become. Zinedine could have chosen a different path, he had the dimension. But it is never far from the ground, it is even closer over the years, becoming assistant to Ancelotti. For the record, I remember halftime of a match in Turin in 2013. This is seen in the hallway, he talks to the players and the back there I said to myself.. it’s a future coach “
This feeling, Luis Fernandez is also and above all forged in the course of its discussions with ZZ that he regularly sees in Madrid: “There is withholding home but it is a real passionate, provides the host of the show Luis Attack . He talks about tactical game, what he would do. He has a philosophy and it goes into place Real “, he said. And differ from that of Benitez, certainly.
“Zizou is an icon”
Hopefully mayonnaise take. And it will pass by the faculty of the native Marseille to convey his ideas, passion and motivation. This is not the simplest. But it is essential. “The players will join and will help him, Fernandez sweeps. Zizou is an icon! His players have already seen at work as an assistant. They saw that it was good Even Carlo told me. He has always been correct, he never tried to take the place “.
If Real is a house XXL, ZZ has an advantage: he knows the background and out. “He bathed in this club. Everything is on the contrary a Benitez had a method and a project that did not fit the Real.” Zidane, he befits the Real. The question is whether the coaching profession corresponds to it.
