Zinedine Zidane addressed the press gathered in the media room at Real Madrid City, where he previewed Sunday’s meeting with Betis (9pm CET) in the following terms: “We know just what a tough prospect it is, it’s a difficult game and a tough place to go. Betis are doing very well. They’ve struggled for results, but they’re a good side. It’ll be a physical contest, but we’re also going to have to really be on our game in terms of the technical side of things”.

“It’s an important match for us, just as it is for them. They’ll be trying to put in a good performance, just as we will. We’ll prepare for it as best we can and give our all out there tomorrow”.

118-year history
“I’m lucky enough to be experiencing it here. Football has always been my passion and I’m doing what I enjoy most in life, along with my family. I’m proud to be part of this club and I make the most of every minute I’m given by this club and this team. The players are part of this history and everyday they write a new chapter. I’m proud”.

La Liga
“We try to give our all every day on the pitch and sometimes things don’t go for you. The players always want to play well and win. You get your tough times and that’s when we have to see the team shine through. The important thing is to try and respond and make sure the bad patch passes quickly. The players try to give their all on the pitch and, if they do that, we’ve got a very good chance of achieving a good result. At the end of the LaLiga season there’s one team that wins it and what about the rest of the teams, are they poor sides? I don’t think so. We know the club we’re at, the history of this club is all about giving your all and if we do so, we’ll be in with a chance”.
