Nicolas Anelka did not hesitate to discuss the future of the French team bench in an interview in Barcelona given to the Cadena SER. The former PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Chelsea striker pleaded for Zinédine Zidane to take the reins of the selection after the World Cup: “I don’t know if it’s official, but I think it will be Zidane. Yes, everyone says it will be him, and he is the best choice. He proved it at Real Madrid. »
Anelka thus reinforced the idea that the Madrid icon could bring his experience and know-how to bring the Blues to the international stage. The former PSG striker also looked back on his mixed time in Madrid: “I was very young, in a new country, a new club, a new language that I didn’t speak, new teammates… I needed time, and football wasn’t for me, so I left after one season. »
