Former French international, Zinedine Zidane, converted into a coach and without a club since his departure from Real Madrid, made a surprising revelation about a PSG star.
The latter, who is none other than Marco Asensio, while he was still playing at Real Madrid, was praised by Zizou who felt he saw qualities of Lionel Messi in him.
According to the Spanish player’s statements, when he made his debut for Madrid, he was approached by Zidane who confided in him.
“Zidane told me he hadn’t seen such a left foot since Messi”reported Marco Asensio, who assured that he was particularly charmed by the words of his former coach.
However, very often injured, Marco Asensio had difficulty stringing together matches and exploiting all his talent.
Since his signing for Paris SG, the Spanish star has struggled to establish himself and has found himself in an inadequate situation in recent months, playing a series of matches on the bench.
Very little used by Luis Enrique after the return of Gonzalo Ramos, injured at the start of the season, the Spanish player now only enters very little into the plans of ” Fought “ and should find a way out.
In this mid-season, the 28-year-old striker displays terrible statistics, scoring 2 goals in Ligue 1 after 11 appearances.
However, he is in the squad of the French capital club for the Champions Trophy match against Monaco on January 5, 2025.
