Vicente del Bosque was the coach who won the 2002 Champions League with Real Madrid. He knows a lot about this competition. He brought out the best in Zinedine Zidane, who is now the coach of Real Madrid. The Spanish team will face Liverpool this Saturday (1:45 p.m.) in Kiev for another final of the most important club tournament in the world.
"Real Madrid has a great team. Right now, Madrid would not choose any Liverpool player to replace one of their own. In other words, I don't think any Liverpool player surpasses any Real Madrid player. It's a different story on the field."
Del Bosque, winner of the 2010 World Cup with Spain, also referred to Zidane. He claims that the Frenchman did not find it easy to adapt to the Spanish League, where he arrived in 2001. Let's remember that he came from Juventus in Italy.
"He was a player with great talent. He had a little trouble adapting to Spanish football because he came from a very physical Italian football. We brought out the best in him. He benefited from Figo, Raúl, Roberto Carlos, and he came to have fun and play with a lot of pleasure in the team."
