Zinedine Zidane appeared in the press room at the Real Madrid City the day before the matchday fifteen league game against Deportivo: "It will be a difficult match and not only because of their last result. Maybe seeing Deportivo where they are in the table is a little strange, with what they are doing and the team that they’ve got. We know it will be a very difficult match. It is the last game of the year in the league and we will try to be well prepared and go in to it well".
"Six points is quiet a lot but it is not enough to think that we are going to win the League. What matters most is what we have to do, we depend on ourselves. The others winning or losing will not change what we have to do. Tomorrow we have an important game, three points at stake, and we want to do everything we can to finish the year winning".
Memories of Deportivo
"I remember a home game that I played well, but Dépor today are different. They’ve just had a great game, they’re a good team and are going to be completely different from when I faced them as a player or coach".
This year's successes
"Many coaches and teams have achieved many things at Real Madrid. The important thing for us is to continue with the work we are doing. The coach may be important but what matters to me is what the players do on a daily basis. They have a great desire in every session and it a spectacular atmosphere. Now we have to look after all this. I know this atmosphere very well and it can change very quickly".
Benzema
"He was at the team's disposal but we're going to give him some rest. We have a lot of games and tomorrow we will rest him and other players".
We depend on ourselves, the others winning or loosingw ill not change what we have to do.
"The team is more united than ever. When we have had difficulties it's been the same. It is a very good group in every way, we are not going to say that they are all friends, but they respect each other a lot and that is very important. Emotionally what we are doing is not easy and that helps us to be better every day".
James and the January transfer window
"James is not leaving here, I do not want him to. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see if he is playing against Deportivo".
Morata
"Tomorrow he's going to play. Every day he is better and he really wanted to play. He's training very well".
Club World Cup precedent
"I do not know what's going to happen in the future. I'm not saying that I only believe in hard work, because there are many other things that help, but the most important thing is hard work and we are doing well every day. I do not see a reason for this to change after the break".
Record since debut against Deportivo
"We have worked hard to get all this and it has been a very good year. What we want is that everything continues like this. We continue with great desire and with our hope intact and if we continue working we will continue dreaming. We hope to continue on this path".
Tax investigations
"Sure that when we talk about all this it has it’s affects, but the important thing for us is that things get fixed very quickly. Before football players, they are people and very intelligent, they know perfectly what they are doing. We have good people, who are professionals and know what they are doing. I hope things get better quickly, we just want to concentrate on football and win games".
