Real Madrid Coach Zinedine Zidane backs Roma captain Francesco Totti – “he’s done amazing things in football”.
It’s not clear if Er Pupone will be offered a new playing contract with the Giallorossi, but the 39-year-old wishes to play for at least one more season.
Totti was dropped after criticising the club in an interview, and though he has since been recalled, the Merengues Coach was asked about the forward ahead of their Champions League meeting tomorrow.
Real Madrid Coach Zinedine Zidane backs Roma captain Francesco Totti – “he’s done amazing things in football”.
It’s not clear if Er Pupone will be offered a new playing contract with the Giallorossi, but the 39-year-old wishes to play for at least one more season.
Totti was dropped after criticising the club in an interview, and though he has since been recalled, the Merengues Coach was asked about the forward ahead of their Champions League meeting tomorrow.
“He’s done amazing things in football, we all know that,” Zidane said in the pre-match Press conference.
“He knows what he can give to his team. I heard his interview, every time he plays it’s a joy for him, and it’s right that he makes the most of this last period of his career.”
Zidane was also asked whether tomorrow’s match represents Mission Impossible for the Lupi, who trail 2-0 after the first leg of the Champions League Last 16 tie.
“The word ‘impossible’ doesn’t exist in football, you always have to play.”
