Zinedine Zidane, one of the legendary names of French football, made remarkable statements at the sports festival held in Trento. The part in Zidane’s speech where he mentioned Kenan Yıldız was on the agenda in both the Italian and Turkish press. Here are the notable headlines from those statements…
“THE BEST GOAL OF MY CAREER…”
“The matches you play in the World Cup are the most important matches in your career. When you are young, you dream of playing in the World Cup and when you achieve it and win, it is a feeling I cannot describe. Goals? I did not score many goals, although they were very nice. One of the important ones for me was the goal I scored against Ajax in the semi-final while I was playing for Juventus. We won both matches in the match. We won 4-1 at home, I scored and it was a great game there. I performed.”
“HE NEEDS TO PROVE HIMSELF”
The legendary name asked “Do you like Kenan Yıldız?” He answered the question. Zidane said about our national football player: “Yes, he is a good player. He scores goals and plays with quality, but he still needs to improve. He needs to get stronger physically and prove himself more. I am happy for both him and Juve.” he said.
“IT WAS MY WANT TO QUIT FOOTBALL”
“Even though it was difficult, I made my decision. This was what I wanted. Endless travels and constantly staying in hotels started to put a strain on me. Even at home, I felt like I was in a hotel. If you are 20 years old, there is no problem. That’s why I quit football at the age of 34, I could continue. I could have played for 2-3 more years. I was injured only once.”
“ANCELOTTI IS A GOOD PERSON BECAUSE…”
“Carlo is my friend. He is a good guy because he knows how to listen to the players. That’s why I say it is important for me because I learned from Carlo to talk to the players and listen to them.”
