Rodrygo: When I met Zidane I was shaking with nerves

Real Madrid youngster Rodrygo has confessed that he was so nervous when he met head coach Zinedine Zidane that he was shaking.

The 18-year-old made the switch to Los Blancos from Santos in the summer and has already made a positive impression at the Bernabeu, netting a couple of league goals as well as three in the Champions League and moving ahead of Vinicius Junior in the pecking order.

He admits, though, that when he was first faced with three-time Champions League winning coach Zidane, he was an anxious bundle.
