Zinédine Zidane was officially inducted into the position of coach of the France team. This Tuesday, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Philippe Diallo, presented Didier Deschamps’ successor during a press conference. Appointed for the next four years, “Zizou” was questioned about how he planned to play his team. And he answered frankly.
Known for his extraordinary technical skills, during his football career, Zinédine Zidane intends to offer some play with the selection. In any case, that’s what he answered to journalists. “The style, you will see it soon. We will have a press conference in September and I will explain it a little (…). What I can tell you is that I am driven by the game.”
Then Zinédine Zidane couldn’t help but say a little more. “I was a number 10. What drives me is to score goals. Of course, there needs to be team balance, that’s obviously the most important thing, but what drives me is the game.” A very clear message on the plans of the new French coach as to how he plans to play his eleven in a few months.
Zinédine Zidane, the game above all
But “ZZ” didn’t stop there. “I lived in Spain for twenty-five years. You know what that means… I started with France, I am a number 10, on the pitch I was a leader. Today I become a leader through my experience, through what I have done, through what I believe I am, now as a coach. But you will see it slowly, we will see each other again quickly. »
Clearly moved and proud to be appointed to the position previously occupied by Michel Hidalgo, Michel Platini and Aimé Jacquet, Zinédine Zidane displayed great ambitions for his new mission.
