Bayern Munich's James slams Zidane over Real Madrid exit
The former Porto and Monaco man stated that: "It was tough leaving Real Madrid, I always dreamed of wearing the white shirt. I always made an impact when I was given the chance so I don’t know if my situation was unfair or not, every coach has his preferences. Much was said but I cannot accept the comments saying that I wasn’t training well. Those comments hurt me because I put the effort in."
James was asked if he feels unfairly treated by Zidane who was the reason he left the club stating that: "I don't think you can say unjust. I don't know. I don't know if there was a feeling between us or not, but every time I came in I did good things. I did interesting things. But I don't think we should be thinking about that anymore. I think that he [Zidane] still is [an idol]. He is because as a player he was top. He had a lot of quality and I admire those who play great football."
