Real Madrid (‎Los Blancos) | Special Thread

Zidane's Post Match Presser:

-"My assessment of the tour is a positive one. The team is ready for the Super Cup."

-"The players who haven't been with us for pre-season will return and we'll see how they're doing back in Madrid."

-"After three games and three weeks of training we're ready for Tuesday's game, which will be our first important match."

-"Karim will be training with us and then we'll see what we do. We hope that he'll be able to play in the Super Cup."

-"Benzema is getting stronger & trained with us. It's tough when you aren't able to train as usual, but its important he's with us."

-"The best thing about pre-season is that we've worked hard, but we must keep it up, because it's a long season."

-"We're going to need to continue in the same vein and keep the work rate up."

-"James played his first 45 minutes and gradually he's getting up to speed."

-"I'm not concerned that Morata isn't scoring, he offers us a lot and the goals will come."

-"I would like ASENSIO to remain at the club, but we'll speak about that when we get back to Madrid."

-"Right now Cristiano still has his injury. He wants to be back but we need patience & him to be calm. He'll be back soon in Madrid."

Zidane: "No, I don't think so. They have to come back. We'll see them in Madrid."
