Zinedine Zidane: “Jurgen Klopp is a great manager with a great CV.”

Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s home clash with Liverpool tonight, Zidane Zidane was very complimentary of the Premier League side.

“It’s a complete team. It is a very strong and very solid set and when it comes to playing as a team it is very good, there is not a single point in particular, although yes, the three strikers are very good.”

The French manager also had a few words to say about his counterpart, Jurgen Klopp.

“Klopp is a great manager with a great CV and has done superbly at Liverpool. I don’t have to copy him because everyone has their way of going about things. I like to look and learn though and when I did my coaching course I analysed Klopp.”

Zidane’s men, who are without captain Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, host Barcelona in El Clásico on Saturday before travelling to Anfield for the second leg on the following Wednesday.
