Zinedine Zidane snubbed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when naming the only two players who make him ‘jump out of his seat’

Zinedine Zidane said Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo the name of two players, making them ‘jump out of their seat’.

The veteran former real Madrid and France Midfielder have only two roles since stepping into professional club management – both are with real.

Ziden managed Ronaldo during his first term in Burnbuy, during which Portugal veteran won Bellon D’Or in 2017.

But perhaps surprisingly, the French named two other Bellon D’Or winners – and the former Real Madrid team companions of Ronaldo – when they raised two players who made them ‘jump out of their seat’ during the matches.

Talking to Telefoot in June 2023, stubborn Explained: “If there is a player who still jumps me out of his seat, then it is Karim Benjema, perhaps also Luca Modric.

“They are players who you think they are going to lose the ball, always manage to go away with it.

“They are the ones that make me crazy compared to others, who make a difference for those who are lucky with them.”

At the time of Zidan’s interview, Benjema ruled the Bellon D’Or winner and recently became a former real Madrid player.

The French joined Al Eyehad as part of that heat migration of high-profile European players in the Saudi Pro League.

Now at the age of 37, Benjema has scored 16 goals in 22 league performances this season and is a contract with Al Eyelahad that runs until the next summer – meaning that his European football career is over.

Meanwhile, Modric, is still part of the real squad at the age of 39, although the 2018 Bellon D’Or’s role has decreased slightly in the last few sessions.

As RelevantThe Croatia Midfielder wants to live in burnbuy beyond his 40th birthday, and continues with his rolling 12 -throat contract – the real use of a policy to expand the migration of any player over 30 years of age.
