Thousands of children dream of becoming part of Real Madrid's youth set-up. Only a chosen few are able to realise that dream and, of those, the privileged few make it to play for Castilla, the final rung on the climb to the heady heights of the Bernabéu.
This year, however, there is a bonus for playing in the Madrid youth team; a double bonus. Following five years of exile in Segunda B (the Spanish Third Division), Castilla has again been promoted to the silver level of Spanish football (the Second Division, Segunda A). In addition to that, Toril's team will have the best football teacher imaginable: Zinedine Zidane.
Zizou will give individual classes to the Castilla and Real Madrid select while completing his training for the next step in his professional career: becoming a coach. Zidane's work will once again see him dressed in football kit and with a ball at his feet. Just like the good old days.
On the pitch, he will focus on field training with the reserve team footballers. The hero of Real Madrid's ninth Champions League win's main mission will be to instruct the midfielders and attacking midfielders from the reserve teams, particularly those from Castilla, Madrid C and the youth players. Technical moves, dribbling, long and short passing, shooting…That is to say, private masterclasses from the French genius.
