France midfielder Manu Koné has hailed Zinedine Zidane’s performance in training. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that he had to pinch himself when Zidane laced up his boots to take part in training, Koné stated that his manager dazzled the players with the way he can still spray passes around and whip in crosses.
Stressing that Zinedine has lost none of his talent, Manu added that he listens to the legendary midfielder’s instructions because he is a CM too.
His words, “What shocked me during the first week of training was his technical range.
He’s lost none of his ability. Seeing it in person is even better, especially at his age.
It’s true that I was little when he was near the end of his career. To see that he still has that technique now means it must have been incredible in his era.
It’s a pleasure to be coached by Zidane, a world legend. He’s told me to play freely and given me confidence.
He was a midfielder, so as a midfielder I listen to everything he says and I can only learn by his side. He advises me a lot about my positioning and gives me more responsibility.
We shouldn’t be shocked, you can only congratulate him for his career. We will see that on Friday, the ovation he gets [against Italy].
The goal will come. But the important thing is to meet the coach’s requirements.”
