Zinedine Zidane has appeared this Friday before the media in the press conference prior to derby of this Saturday (16:00 hours) before the Atlético de Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu in day 22 garter belt. The French coach has stressed that the duel against the rojiblancos is “special”, but that “no” will “risk with any player” for the doubt of Hazard. In addition, he has ensured that “no” contemplates the departure of Bale on this last day of the winter transfer market.
The hobby in the derby. “As always, it is special because it is a derby, but we like to always play with our fans at the Bernabéu. They always support us throughout the game, we want it behind us and I think it's going to happen. ”
Vinicius or others out for Bale? “They are 25 players and they are fine, I choose. The good thing is that they are all involved and when it is their turn, they try to do it well and give everything, that is the important thing. But when you are 25 and you make a call for 18, some are left out, but we cannot change it. Concentrated and prepared and that's what they have to do.
Bale. “I will not tell you who will play tomorrow, but everyone is ready. After training, we will see the call. ”
Discards. “Everyone trains and it bothers me to leave them out because what they want is to play. That is why I say that they are all important and what they have to be is prepared. There is no more explanation. It is hard and difficult to leave it out., Worse there are many games and the players know it. I will count on everyone. ”
The Madrid of Zidane of the previous stage or the present. “I do not know. Each one thinks one thing, the important thing is that Madrid has always had the best players and each stage is different ”.
The antecedents before the Atleti. “The preseason game was that (3-7) and we didn't watch any, not even the Super Cup match (penalty win). Tomorrow is a different game for both teams. It will be complicated for them too. I hope to see a great game and I don't have to compare anything from one game to another. ”
The 20-game losing streak. “There are many ingredients, but what I can highlight is work and trust. Believe in what we are doing. Tomorrow there is another game and we have to show what we are doing. ”
Mendy. “I have known him for a long time because I see the French League and he is a player with quality and very competitive, with a lot of competitive hunger. He likes duels and is showing it. It just arrived and little by little it is soaking up what is the Real Madrid. His integration has been very good, he is a person who wants to learn and improve in a context he did not know. He has adapted very quickly and has to continue learning Spanish (laughs).
Hazard. “Yes, well, we will see. He is training little by little and the possibilities are wide. Everyone wants to be and that is the most important thing, but we will never risk any player. ”
Bale and a possible march. “I don't contemplate this possibility.”
Brahim and Mariano's refusal to leave on loan. “You don't have to ask me. I'm going to tell everyone, we've already talked about it. ”
Do you understand Simeone's criticisms? No, but it is not up to us. Everyone knows their situation and I know what Simeone is as a coach. It is one of the best and has proven it. It doesn't change anything I think about him. ”
Lack of goal. “We work very well. I have a very good template there is what we do is demonstrate it in the field. We have had and will have very difficult games, but we know that the first thing to do is defend our goal and then attack because we have quality to do good things and we have to prove it every three days. ”
Not winning at Atleti in the League at the Bernabéu since 2012. “They are circumstances that happen, yes we have won them at home. Tomorrow we have the opportunity to change this dynamic and continue with the things we have been doing lately, continue marking and not granting. ”
