"Granada is having a good season, it is second, and we want to follow leaders after the game," he said of the Andalusian team's visit.

Zinedine Zidane appeared in the press room of the Ciudad Real Madrid after directing the last pre-match training against Granada, which will take place this Saturday (4:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga) in the Santiago Bernabeu. The white coach analyzed the visit of the Andalusian team: “Tomorrow plays the first against the second, that means everything. We know we are going to play against a team that is having a good season, just like us. ”

“A team is coming that wants to add and is having a good season. Our idea is the same as always. We had little time to recover from one game to another, but we are ready to play. We know what we did before the Bruges. The second part is not that it was spectacular but we gave the face. We are better than two months ago and we will be better in a few weeks. ”

An exam in each match

“I know where I am and it's always like that. The position of coach is like this for everyone. I'm going to fight until the last day because I like what I do and I feel capable. ”

Fight for the League and Champions

“The team knows the message. The important thing is the day to day, give everything in each training. Football demands a lot from us and we know that everything we do is important. ”

Debate in the goal

“You say that I said there would be no debate, but there are always debates here, whatever you say. You do your job and I do mine. I will have all the players. Then, people can comment. We have kept the goal to zero in three games and he was there. ”

Pitos to Courtois

“Be fair or unfair, it is what it is and he knows it. He is strong and knows the situation. The first part of the other day was everyone's business. We don't have to give it more laps and we have to think about tomorrow's game. ”

We always have to give our best and now we have a party to show that we are leaders.

“The important thing is how he feels. He is not solely responsible for the first half against Bruges. We receive two goals and he is the goalkeeper, but he is not solely responsible. What would we say then of the three games in which we don't score goals? In Real Madrid we have no right to err, we must never receive goals and we always have to score them. When that does not happen you will always talk badly about Real Madrid. We always have to give our best and tomorrow we have a match against the second classified. ”

Courtois, sick before the Bruges

“It was wrong, sure. It can happen from time to time, that a player is a little scrambled and can play. No one is indisputable, neither Courtois nor anyone. I have never said that. I will count on everyone. What I have to do is put 11 on the field in each game. ”

Areola

“He's a great goalkeeper, like Thibaut. It is very good and that's it. The two that play are good. He has adapted very fast and is happy with us. It is not that there is a hierarchy. With a template like ours you cannot say that a player is more important. My players train very well and want to play. Then, I decide and the players must be prepared. There are some who are going to play more than others, but everything can change in every game. ”

critics

“I don't know if you have to understand it or not, I'm not here for that. As you say, we are not as bad as you can talk outside. This is Real Madrid and we focus on what we can do in the field because we now have a match to show that we are first. What we want is to follow first after the game. ”

Lucas Vázquez

“If I tell you that they do not affect the pitos is not true. They affect, but you have to accept them. Luke He has done good things too and has been applauded. When things happen a little worse we have to react and that is what we want for the good of the team. ”

Player sanctions

“It's something inside and stays there. You have had information that you should not have and that's it. I talk to the player and that is what we do, but you have had information that you should not have ”.

Bale, left side?

“No, I have not thought anything about it. We have other possibilities before, I say. Militão is an alternative. He is a defender and has played in this position. Also as right side. It's a posibility".
