The image is beautiful, authentic. Zinédine Zidane, in his Blues coach costume, who meets Aimé Jacquet in the corridors of the Stade de France. The scene occurred after the victory of the France team against Belgium (4-1).
“Fireworks”appreciated the coach of the 1998 world champions.
Under the eye of Christian Karembeu, Laurent Blanc and Robert Pirès, Zidane hugged his former coach, before requiring a photo to be taken, to immortalize the moment. The photo of the two men, all smiles, is enough to move all those who experienced the great adventure of the first star.
Simply a supporter and lover of the Blues, Aimé Jacquet appreciated what he saw from Zidane’s men.
“There is quality, it’s really impressive”he slipped to his old No. 10. A compliment inevitably appreciated by “ZZ”, who also paid a nice tribute. “Liked, it was kindness. He’s handsome, that’s what I told him. »

Not in terms of the principles of play, since football has changed, as we know, and Zidane has kept up with the times. It is rather in the management of men that the former Real Madrid coach was inspired by the Jacquet method.
“Aimé was incredible. With the starters, it was easy. But where he was strong was with us, the replacements, thus confirms Robert Pirès in Téléfoot. He comes to talk to you, reassure you, and say: ‘I will need you’. What Zizou does is the same thing. This is why we see him very close to the players. With this kind of coach, you are going to war. »
