Zinedine Zidane He spoke of various issues in the previous match against Real Sociedad, the rival of the league debut for the whites. The Real Madrid coach spoke about how the squad is doing and about various proper names such as Hazard, Odegaard, Marco Asensio, Jovic or Rodrygo.
How is the team
“The team has prepared very well and has had time to be prepared. We are eager to start. The team wanted the competition to start, we are happy to be able to play again. There are people who are having a bad time and we are fortunate to be playing football again “
Odegaard
“He has had a bit of discomfort but I think he's back. Perfectly. It will have a role like everyone else. I know I have the best here, it has always been like that and I will count on everyone. The important thing for them is to be prepared ”
Hazard
“I can't tell you exactly when he will return. It's better. The important thing is your feelings and that you are one hundred percent. That does not enter to see. We have time for that. We started a season and it has to be full, nothing more. We are going to prepare so that everyone is one hundred percent “
Jovic's future
“I do not think he will go away. Until October 4, anything can happen. I can not say anything more. We have to train well and be involved, which is what matters to me “
What do you expect from Odegaard
“He is a quality player and ours. You can contribute to the team. We always talk about it, those who pass through here are the best and now he is there. It can be important in this template and it is what it is all about. We are going to prepare everyone to be able to perform at the highest level “
Marco Asensio and his injury
“From the injury he is better, he is training well, apart from now. It is in a normal process. He had a scare with the national team and is better. Now we are going to be careful and when he is fully ready to train normally he will return to us “
Repeat league title
“We prepare for that. Anyway we always know what we play every year. That will not change, it is part of this great club. We know when we start from day one that we have to prepare for that. Then is the consequence. If you prepare well, you want it, we are a team … like last year when we returned from confinement we will have opportunities to achieve things. It is the day to day, we know of its difficulty. Players prepare to be competitive. Every year is more difficult and we have to be prepared “
Reguilón
“The first thing to congratulate Reguilón for the season he has done. He is a Madrid player and now he has had the opportunity to go play. We have two players in each position and nothing else. I have two wingers and I can't have three, four or five. Then it is a mess. What we can do is wish Reguilón the best possible, because he had a good season at Sevilla and he deserves to be playing for Tottenham now “
Closed template
“Quite the opposite. Until the 4th, anything can happen. Then no longer “
The Royal Society
“I don't think it's a bad place to debut. It is a very good team. Every year he is a very difficult opponent, who plays football well and does not stop running. It always shows. On the contrary, it is a difficult field but it is what we have to do. We are also prepared for that. We are happy to be able to make our debut in LaLiga in a complicated field but that is good to start with ”
The Odegaard change
“Of course it has changed. Every year it has gotten better and better. Last year he had a great season with Real Sociedad. It belongs to Madrid and we are going to use it “
Rodrygo
“Rodrygo is a player on our squad, on the first team, and nothing is going to change. We must congratulate him on his call with the national team “
The current situation and objectives of the new season
“We want to do the challenge from last season in the league again. The context is very difficult for many people and I think of all of them. On an economic level too. We are lucky to be able to play soccer. The situation is complicated but we will have to adapt. We are going to defend this title with great enthusiasm. “
