Zidane's statements
Zidane said during the pre-match press conference: "There will be changes; we must not do anything randomly."
He added: "It was great to be with my players. I feel a bit frustrated because it is coming to an end. The players have performed well."
He continued: "I may not say certain things, but I try to be as honest as possible about what I want to convey. I know it will take time."
He completed: "I think Belgium played very well. They made things difficult for us tactically, but we managed to win. I watched the match against Turkey; they can make things difficult for any team."
Zidane spoke about the issue concerning Ronaldo, saying: "We must acknowledge Ronaldo's wonderful career. I was lucky to have him with me."
The French coach concluded: "He helped me win many titles. Respect to Cristiano. I have always held deep respect for those I spent time with."
