But he is a Juventus player. I did what I had to do with him, now we will see what happens in the future. I was lucky enough to train him because he is really impressive.
Zidane was speaking ahead of Madrid s Champions League last-16 second leg against Atalanta, having beaten Juve s Serie A rivals 1-0 in Bergamo in their previous meeting.
Remo Freuler was sent off after just 17 minutes for the home side, with Zidane s men then finally breaking the deadlock through Ferland Mendy four minutes from time.
Madrid are in the driving seat in the tie but Zidane insists he is not relaxed heading into Tuesday s game. While he realises Atalanta have to come out and go for goals, he is also well aware that is their main strength.
I m not calm, in football that doesn t exist, Zidane added. You must have a great performance to get through the round, you can t go to 95 per cent because they will come here to win.
We will need the best Real Madrid. I don t expect anything different from Atalanta. They always play in the same way: they attack and score, a lot. It s a great team.
It s true that everything changed early on in the first leg, but many things were said to each other and they are rightly angry about the sending off, which was harsh. But we also prefer to play against 11 men, because then our game was also different.
