“It’s a big opportunity to show what we’re made of as a team”, said the coach.
Zinedine Zidane took questions from the media in the press room at Real Madrid City after the last training session before the matchday six game against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions Group Stage (Wednesday, 9pm CET): “It’s an important match and we know that. We want to get the three points and finish top of the group. That’s all we’re thinking about, but every match is important and it’s a big opportunity to show what we’re made of as a team. The important thing is to play as a team and being aware that, when we stick together, defend well and don’t give our opponents much, we can do well with the ball”.
“All the players and the club are used to playing under pressure and being involved in games where you have to be at your best. We know what’s at stake and we have to deal with our emotions and, above all, prepare well. We know that a lot will be said on the outside, but the important thing for us is to prepare well and put in a great performance. I’m convinced that we’ll have a great match tomorrow”.
The features of Borussia
“They’re a very good team and have proved to be very disciplined: they defend well and they’re very good on the counter-attack. They’re a physically powerful and very technically team. We know how difficult the match will be and we have prepared for it thinking about the opponent, but above all thinking about what we’re going to do on the pitch, which is what matters the most to me”.
