Zidane: “We want to change the history in Copa” | Copa del Rey 2019

Zinedine Zidane, a Real Madrid technician, assured that his team does not have “lack of motivation” in the Copa del Rey and, after remembering that the dynamics in the competition is not good but that they are the club with the most European Cups, he scored goal of “changing history”.

“I do not think it is due to lack of motivation, they are circumstances to win only three Copa del Rey in 30 years. Real Madrid has a very big and important history. Our motivation is very high and it is a trophy that we respect, as we all “sure.

“You have to accept the Cup but also that Real Madrid has 13 Champions and that is a very good fact, the cup a little worse. We are in it to change history, we will try, “he added.

After removing Unionists of Salamanca, the next step in the goal set by Zidane arrives in Zaragoza in a game that he warned of his danger.

“Surely it will be a very complicated game against an opponent who is doing very well in the Second Division and who wants to go up. We know the players that have and we have to go with maximum concentration, with intensity. We always have to give our best version because only then can we get something out, giving everything in the field, “he said.

In addition, he highlighted his rival that “it is a historical club” with a coach like Vctor Fernndez whom he knows well, “who has many First games and is prepared to make a great game.” That is why I make it clear that none of his players will be “surprised by the difficulties” and that they are “prepared”.

Without hazard

The Copa del Rey is the title that Zidane has left to win as coach and one of the challenges of this season: “When we put on the Real Madrid shirt for any game we want to do it well and tomorrow we play the Cup, we want to give it our all “.

The Real Madrid coach defended the change of format and the only game until the semifinals: “I am used to this Cup format because in France I always played a game, I like it. It is dynamic to a game and we adapt to what we touch “.

Do not reveal if the Gareth Bale gals enter the call after recovering from the slight sprained ankle he suffers, and only acknowledged that “almost all are perfect.” Among them does not include the Belgian Eden Hazard, who needs more time in his recovery. “Hazard has been back in the field with the technicians but not yet with the team. This week we will see how we manage it,” he said.

Who is sure not to travel to Zaragoza is Mariano Daz for some inconvenience. “It is not available, it is with some discomfort and when one is like this it is best not to risk. He has not been able to train with us and I can not say anything else. I do not like it and also not being out of the team due to discomfort,” he said, discarding an exit imminent club.

Regarding exits and some possible signing, Zidane admitted that “until 31 everything can happen”, but I did not see that I need any reinforcement: “I have a template with the best players and I want to do it with them nothing more”.
