Zidane in an interview on Los Blancos’ website ahead of their La Liga showdown against Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday was reluctant to speak about other teams’ players but he offered a quick opinion on the 2016 2io Olympic gold medalist. “I don’t speak about players that aren’t mine. Everyone in the world of football likes Neymar. He’s a great player.” said Zidane Zinedine Zidane’s side enter Sunday’s clash with no intention of catching Barcelona but to build form, finish the season strongly and see how far the team can go in the Champions League. The 19 point gap between themselves and the league leaders is basically unassailable, of the 19 remaining matches the Blaugrana would have to lose at least six matches and Los Blancos would need to win their six matches on the same matchdays just to even draw level.
