Zidane's press conference ahead of the match against Athletic
"This coming week Bale will start training with us. We must remain calm & patient."
-"I always want my players to be 100%. I won't be risking Bale. We won't let his recovery stop at 80%."
-"Aduriz is a very important player for them in all aspects. Lets see who plays tomorrow with rotation like Kovacic."
-“Marcelo is out for tomorrow’s game, then we'll see how he recovers. He is getting better, was running today, but no risks v Roma."
-"Mourinho wanting Varane? That's normal. He brought him here & knows him well but he's a player for Madrid's future."
-"Obviously I want Varane. The most important thing for me are the fans, who are with me. We have to continue with this dynamic."
-"I'm tired of this Benzema subject. He is with us which is the first thing & he is focused here. So lets forget about that issue."
-"Playing well for 90mins... Scoring, attacking, pressing hard is the football I want."
-"We are going to start playing every 3 days & thats good. This team has scored 5 or 6 goals in away game too."
-"We'll see who is LB tomorrow. I will give Isco a rest. Mateo will have the same job, to work hard without the ball."
