Zidane: "I never thought I was untouchable"

Will Zinédine Zidane pay the price?

In any case, the Real Madrid manager does not have an immunity collar.

And he knows it.

After a start to the season that can be qualified as average, in results and content, and a defeat in Donetsk on Tuesday (2-0) which puts the club in the 14 European coronations in a delicate position for the 8th finals of the League champions (the rankings here), "ZZ" must quickly put "his" Real on the road to victory.

“I never thought I was untouchable,” he admits.

Never.

Neither as a player, nor as a coach, nor as a person, ”he said at a press conference, before the trip to Seville on Saturday (4:15 pm), during the 12th day of the Spanish championship .

A decisive match for the future of the French technician of 48 years, like the two following ones besides: against Borussia Mönchengladbach in C1 Wednesday and Saturday December 12, against the rival and neighbor of Atlético.

“I have done several seasons here, it has always been difficult, continues Zidane.

Today, because it's the present, we want to say that it's the most difficult (moment), that's how it is.

I feel strong in finding solutions with my players.

Tomorrow (Saturday), we have an opportunity to play a great match against a great opponent. "

Triple winner of the Cup with big ears with Casa Blanca, Zinédine Zidane is also convinced that he has the "support of the club", and insists that he has "confidence" in his players.

“The players, what they want is to play, and they've always shown me their support.

It is sometimes forgotten, but they are the first to be unhappy.

We are going to stick together and get out of this bad patch, ”Zidane promised.

Third in Group B in C1, tied on points with Shakhtar, the Madrilenians are fourth in La Liga, with two points ahead but one game more than Sevilla FC.
