Florentino Perez Wants To Protect Me, Zidane Says

Zinedine Zidane sent a postcard to his president yesterday as he was training with France ahead of the controversial friendly with Australia in Melbourne.

The Real supremo made angry comments on the game, saying it shouldn't have been scheduled in the middle of the season.

Zizou believes Florentino Perez acted to protect his interests.

"I must admit that the presidente was right, although he spoke in a rough way", Zidane told the press.

"When you purchase a player for £48m, you want to protect your investment", he added.

Zidane said he didn't put France ahead of Real or the contrary. "Even if I won a lot with the Equipe de France, I don't have a preference. Both teams are very special to me".

Australia and France played 1-1 in the mentioned match.
