Real Madrid coach Zidane focused on PSG not his future
Madrid, Feb 13 (IANS) Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane on Tuesday said that he was not worried about his future with the Spanish team, and instead remained focused on the upcoming Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.
Defending champion Real Madrid is to host PSG on Wednesday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, following their recent elimination from Spain’s Copa del Rey and their underwhelming place in the La Liga table, 17 points behind unbeaten leader Barcelona, reports Efe.
“I’m not thinking about my future, I’m just focused on tomorrow’s game. That is what I’m concentrating on,” the Frenchman said, according to Real Madrid’s official website.
After winning eight titles in two years with Real Madrid, Zidane did not want to dwell on the recent criticism of Real Madrid’s poor performance on the pitch, and downplayed the consequences if his side is eliminated from the Champions League.
“We don’t feel pressured, we are used to playing in such games,” he reiterated, adding “We know it will be a hard-fought affair against a great side who can really make life hard for us.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
