Zidane lavishes praise on Barcelona’s Yamal

Zinedine Zidane made his last public appearance to pay compliments to Lamine Yamal. 

In addition, he did not rule out a future return to coaching with the French national team.

The emergence of Lamine Yamal is practically an obligatory topic of discussion in any conversation involving football personalities.

Zinedine Zidane, who came to the Champs Elysees for an Adidas event, was the latest to be questioned about the Barcelona player’s ability to be decisive in important matches despite his youth.

“When you see him play, for example, the second half he played against Inter in the Champions League semifinals. I’ve never seen that in my life. It’s impressive to see someone who masters his job like that on the pitch. It was quite fabulous to see him like that, so we all enjoyed it. Everyone has their moment, it’s pretty cool. Actually, what has always motivated me is the game itself because we first grew up in the neighborhood with friends,” he recalled.

After attacking the Lamine Yamal issue, Zidane focused a little more on his figure and this long retirement he is having from the bench: “I have put my career on pause a little bit, but I feel completely 100% coach”.

“With the French national team I played and I was practically 12, 13 or 14 years. Of course it’s a desire, I have the desire, but now there is a coach in charge, a team and you have to respect all that. I have always respected football and people, so now is not the time. When it comes, it will be a great pleasure if the opportunity presents itself.
