Zinedine Zidane, but he hopes the France legend fails to to
pick up any silverware as head coach at Real Madrid.
Zidane is a hero in the Spanish capital, having seen out his
playing career at the club between 2001 and 2006, winning
La Liga and Champions League titles during that time.
The 43-year-old is now the latest coach tasked with brining
silverware to Madrid after he replaced Rafael Benitez at the
helm of the first team, and his tenure started with a 5-0 Liga
demolition of Deportivo La Coruna last weekend.
Vidal says admired Zidane as a player, but is desperate to
deny him the opportunity to enjoy any success this season.
"They seem to have had a good start, but the titles get
handed out at the end of the season," he told RAC .
"I hope he does not win any. I've always been a big fan of
Zidane, but now I cannot wish him any luck."
Vidal finally made his Barca debut this month after joining
from Sevilla in the previous transfer window and he feels he
can only improve by playing with the world's best, including
Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.
"Virtually all the players here are the best in the world," he
added. "You can learn a lot from them.
"In training you can see that Leo is the best. When you are
face to face with him you know you have few options."
