Zidane: I count on every player

"I don't have a 'Plan A' or a 'Plan B'," he said when asked about his starting XI.

"Every three days I have to leave out quality players. I count on everyone."

Rodrygo: When I met Zidane I was shaking

"I knew Zidane before because when I came to get to know the club last year, he came back. When I met him, I was shaking. 

From the start, he always treated me well and he has taught me a lot. At the start of the season when I was injured, I was feeling low, almost depressed. But he came every day to the medical department and spoke with me to encourage me. "

Jovic: I never doubted my ability

"It was a difficult period for me," Jovic said. "I never doubted my ability, nor did the people close to me like my teammates or coach.

"The crowed was very tough and it wasn't pleasant to read those articles.
