Zidane's words catch up to his players before the vital match with Chelsea

Zinedine Zidane's passionate speech to his Real Madrid players was picked up by microphones ahead of their match with Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Spanish giants have equalled 1-1 after the first semi-final match in the Champions League and will have to score at Stamford Bridge if they want to progress to the next phase.

And while Zidane was gathering his players together, Chiringuito TV managed to catch some of what he was saying.

“We must be very aggressive because they [Chelsea] are used to this,” he said.

And then don't forget to keep the ball, play and enjoy the game, because that's what brought us here. ”

The remarks come after Zidane declared at the press conference before the match that his team was prepared to fight to the death in order to reach the final of Europe's main race.

He said: “We are in the semifinals of the Champions League, we will all fight until death in the field. All players are ready to play, and of course I have to pick a team. ”

“All players are ready to play, don't worry. ”

Zidane won the Champions League three years in a row with Real Madrid between 2016 and 2018 before leaving the club. /Periscopi
