The club's head coach Zinedine Zidane also had the first press conference, during which he mentioned the future of several players in the capital city. Since January, training with "Real," Z. Zidane has left Colombian James Rodriguez "on the bench" from last season. There have been rumors in the media that the midfielder could move to the Premier League, but the coach is not ready to make hasty decisions. "James was one of those who got less playing time last season," Zizou admitted. - I don't want to say he is a less important player, but sometimes these things happen". "He will join the team along with Modric and Ramos on July 26th. I used James' services last season, and I intend to do so this year. The squad is very large, and it is difficult to find time for everyone equally. I am happy to have a competitive squad, but sometimes it also creates additional problems," Z. Zidane said. The coach also mentioned the future of the club's academy graduate, Jese. Speaking straight to the point, Zizou said, "If I were a family member, I would advise him to go for playing practice. However, he is a player with exceptional abilities, and I will be pleased if he decides to stay." Finally, the press conference also touched on Paul Pogba, who was linked with "Real" for a significant part of the summer, not with "Man Utd" club. "He is a player I like. However, he currently belongs to the Juventus club, and my squad certainly does not lack top-class players," Z. Zidane concluded. The first friendly match for the European champions in the USA will take place on July 28 against Paris Saint-Germain.
