Real Madrid coach Zidane slams 'trash talker' Lineker
Posted Sunday, October 22, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has branded former Barcelona reserve Gary Lineker a "trash talker".
Lineker attacked Real striker Karim Benzema in midweek.
Zidane responded: "Criticism of striker Karim Benzema has stung the coach, who felt compelled to respond.
"Not only Karim, everyone.
"It bothers me.
"Karim will not score 60 goals but he's going to score 30 and he's going to assist for 40 more and that's what matters to me the most.
"It's annoying to hear trash talking about my players, and I want to clarify that for me, Karim is the best [centre-forward] by far."
