Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane enjoyed a dig at his critics ahead of their clash with Getafe.

Zidane has defended his record as a coach, saying that he is not the bad tactician that some make him out to be.

The Frenchman, being modest, also added that he doesn't think he is the best coach in the world, even though he has won so much in the past half a decade.

"Am I lucky? Yes, to be here at this great club," he said in his press conference on Saturday when asked about the critics who put his success down to good fortune.

"I don't think I'm a disaster of a coach. I'm not the best either, for sure.

"You might not always do things well, but the important thing is to have passion. Then it can go well or go badly.

"It's important to give 100 percent every day and I do that, but especially my players.

"There's a lot of talk here, but that won't change.

"I would like to talk with you [the media] about football more than we do, but there seems to be more interest in other things.

"I know you all like football too!"
