Zinedine Zidane spoke in press conference before the important game Real Madrid will play on Tuesday against Sporting Lisbon in the fifth week of the Champions League group stage. Los Blancos need to win or draw to secure a place in the Last 16 round and they need the three points to fight for the first position of the group.
The Real Madrid manager spoke after the big win on Saturday in the derby. Isco was one of the best players of the game and the coach also gave some compliments to the playmaker: “Isco’s position is the ‘10’, but he can play in some other positions. He’s doing great”.
On Saturday, Benzema stayed on the bench and Zidane changed the formation to play with a 4-4-2. However, the manager might change again the tactics: “It’s not that the BBC are not negotiable, it’s because the three of them are the best. All are the best, but the BBC a little bit more”.
About changing the formation, Zidane wasn’t sure about it: “We always study the rival and they do the same. I think we have the best players. Placing them in the pitch in one way or other it doesn’t change a lot”.
Zidane didn’t explain in press conference whether Sergio Ramos or Benzema will start or not the game: “We’ll see tomorrow. We are all here except the injured players, who stayed in Madrid. We’re all ready”.
The French coach expects a tough team, “who is going to try to put Real Madrid in difficulties, as always”. However, Real Madrid will try to win the game, no matter if it’s better to finish first in the group or second: “I don’t make this calculations. The important thing it’s go and try to win the games. We make everything to win. Then, we’ll see the table. If we can win tomorrow, we’ll do it. We make everything for it”, Zidane finished.
The Great Coach ever in Madrid. Hala Madrid
