Zinedine Zidane talked about his future on the occasion of his 51st birthday during the Téléfoot broadcast. Former Real Madrid player and coach explained: "I hope I can get back to coaching soon. I miss that adrenaline, I need it.

I haven't had it for maybe two years, but I'm sure the time will come. You can't do without the socceer when you like it. I don't rule out being able to go back to France, it will depend a lot on any project that is proposed to me.

I'll have to accept what comes, we'll see." The Frenchman then added: "If there's one player who still makes me jump off my seat, it's Karim Benzema. maybe even Luka Modric. They are players who, when you think they are about to lose the ball, always manage to get away with it.

They are the ones who drive me crazy more than others, the ones who make the difference for those lucky enough to have them."

A final word also on former Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham: "Jude Bellingham is an important player, he is a player with a great future and is ready to play for Real Madrid.
