What do you think of the announced appointment of Zinedine Zidane to coach Real Madrid?
I’m not so surprised. In France we are not offended so much when we promote people in clubs during a coaching change during the season. We saw with Lyon and Montpellier. Why it would be different with Real Madrid? Especially when the reserve team coach called Zidane and that’s an incredible personality. He was predestined to this trajectory. He spent his degrees, he clearly expressed the fact that he wanted to become a coach. He started to put hands dirty with the reserve team of Real Madrid. One can well imagine that he had drawn a destiny.
Is it not too early. Would it not necessary to go through a less exposed club?
Is there arose the question when Guardiola coached the reserve Barça and that he found first team coach? I’m not sure … The future will tell. I think there are no more likely to become the coach of Real Madrid than accept the Gironde proposal. The problem, when your name Zidane is that it has to succeed. With Bordeaux finish fifth if it is successful, that’s good. Will finish second with Real Madrid is failing? We see that Benitez is not detached in La Liga, he finished first in their group in the Champions League. Madrid is his club. Zinédine has a will, he may have more leniently. It will be the accession of the players. I think this is the relationship that did not work between Benitez and the players. Zinédine has their respect, it will build trust.
“When it was the player he was, one can not imagine that it does not wish to advocate attacking play.”
You spend your coaching credentials with him. What game was he set up?
Obviously, he wanted an offensive game, seductive. When we called Zidane when we have been the player he was, one can not imagine that it does not wish to advocate the offensive play. After, he knows very well that to have an offensive game established, it needs foundations, a well-balanced team. It still has great players. He is in his club. He is asked to make the first team. This is not an offer he can refuse. At one point, he must take responsibility.
Having been a great player he puts him more pressure on the shoulders?
No, no more, no less. Everyone knows that a great player does not necessarily makes a great coach, and vice versa. He knows he will be judged on its results. He knows he has to win. He obviously knows all this. He knows the high level. It’s a boy who is not afraid to put himself in danger. Today is a great lesson to think that someone like him who has such an aura in soccer, is able to put themselves in danger. This is very respectable.
Risk does to grill on failure?
The coaching profession is a profession of all Hazards what. Now, I am optimistic. It has great players. He will unite around him. There is no guarantee, except to finish in the top three. It will be necessary for success and talent. I am convinced that it will also have as a coach.
