Zidane's press conference ahead of the match against Sporting.
Zidane: "It seems absurd (on the sanction). I have always been here with my children. I think we will fix it next week".
"I'm a bit annoyed, but in the end, I'm not going to prevent these things. The important thing is to come out of it."
"It doesn't make sense (FIFA sanction) and this is the third question about the same topic. We are here to talk about the match."
"We must start the match strong. We know that it is a good opponent, they play well. The important thing is to finish happy".
"Cristiano is decisive, as usual. It is true that we will always talk about Cristiano, but I am very happy with him."
"I think that it is bad luck that we are out of the Cup. But at the same time we have the possibility of working for what's coming".
"We have 3 weeks to work. We worked well the last couple of weeks and that's important."
"Pogba is a great player, but I focus on my squad. These are the players who will win us matches".
"David Bettoni is an assistant of mine. He does not act as a second coach".
"I have the best, I have Cristiano. He is the best and nobody else".
"James starting? You'll know tomorrow. James is part of the group. I can't tell you today if he will start or not".
"I won't say I'm scared of Sporting, but it will be difficult. But I'm not going to talk about the rival, I worry about what we do."
"Varane is older (laughs). Yes, he has evolved, he has changed for the better. Tomorrow he'll start".
"First, I'm not going to be expelled (laughs). Anyway we have Chendo if something happens".
"I like to work with the ball and without the ball. We have worked well these past couple of days".
"Ramos is doing better. We spoke with the doctor, the coming week he'll be with the group. We have decided not to risk him".
"David Bettoni and I are friends. We have also worked a lot together. He is a person that can contribute and help a lot."
"For me it is a bit of the same always. There is a bit of everything in trainings"
"At the beginning of the week we do a little more physical training, later we work on tactics"
"Above all, we work with the ball, this is my philosophy in football".
The players met up at the Bernabéu before travelling to #RMCity, where they will rest before tonight's match against Sporting. #RMLiga#HalaMadrid
