As Real Madrid take on Atletico de Madrid in the Spanish Premier League (La Liga) match on Saturday, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said that his team looked good and the players were focused on what they have to do.
“The team looks good. We’re missing a few players, but we’ll start getting people back slowly. We’re heading into the derby in good shape. We know how important this game is, as always. For people on the outside it’s a special match, but for me it’s three points and we’re going to try and win it. We need to play at full throttle for 90 minutes,” said Zidane at a press conference following the last training session ahead of the derby.
According towww.realmadrid.com, Zidane told at the press conference that they would be going all out to in the match. “It’s going to be a hotly contested game, as is always the case in a derby. We’re playing away from home in what is a new ground for us. I hope to see a good game of football. Everyone is going to do all they can do win it. We’ve analysed the game as ever, not just because it’s Atlético, and we’ll try to play our game.”

Speaking about Atlético, he s aid, “I think this team look strong, I don’t think they’re worse. They’re a convincing outfit who know what they’re doing. They’ll play a good game.”
