Zidane on Juventus, Real Madrid, Isco and Gareth Bale
The coach says that there's not a lot between the two teams in the UCL final
He doesn't believe he has to make a choice between Isco and Gareth Bale
Zinedine Zidane rejected the idea that Madrid are good at scoring and Juventus are better at defending, saying there was not a lot between the two teams that dispute the Champions League final on June 3.
"People say Juve defend better, that we are the best attack, but I do not think like that,” said Madrid’s coach at a media day.
"I don't feel there is much difference between the teams. These are the two best teams going to play the final. It is deserved after a very long season."
Asked about whether he would play Isco or Gareth Bale in the final, widely considered to be the only dilemma in his selection, Zidane said: : "The two players are very important for us, very good players. Everyone can have their own opinions but it will not affect me.
"Gareth and Isco can play together too, as they have done 16 times this season.
"Gareth has had less competition, less minutes, but he is already recovered from his injury. He is ready and with us, and very excited about playing in his home city.
"I know that all the players have such motivation. Isco has shown all season the type of player he is."
