#2 Much needed break
Don’t we all just sometimes feel like throwing it all away and go to the Bahamas and enjoy the view with someone special and forget the rest of the wall? Don’t we all crave for breaks due to the stress that life so easily bestows upon a person?
The difference between Zidane and us mere mortals is that he had the courage to throw it all away and take a break that was overdue for the Frenchman. No manager has been at Real Madrid for more than three seasons – that is how stressful the job is.
The difference between the other managers and Zidane was that he knew his calling while the others just waited to be sacked. The expression on Florentino Perez’s face, while Zidane was giving out his final blow, spoke volumes.
It depicted a man who had just understood how other managers felt when he put the axe down upon them, but he also knew deep within that Zidane needed this – he needed a break from it all.
