The World Cup winner took training for the first time on Tuesday and insists he will try to use his own style of fast, attacking football
Zinedine Zidane has revealed his first message to the Real Madrid players after taking training on Tuesday.
The World Cup winner has replaced Rafa Benitez after the Spaniard was sacked just seven months into his reign on Monday evening.
“My first words were very important for the players because we trained in front of our fans,” said Zidane.
“I told them that I am very happy to be at their side and that this is a new adventure for us.
“We have goals to meet and we will give our very best to reach those goals. We will try to play attacking football, but balanced, and nothing more. We will work to do as well as possible. The message is this.
“I’m a bit emotional, like yesterday, that will pass. I am convinced of day to day work I will do with my players. I’m not someone who talks a lot with press. But that’s not important. Day to day with players will be fundamental and the message will only be one: to win.”
