‘Valencia will be very tough…’ – Zidane

Zinedine Zidane admits Real Madrid’s trip to the Mestalla will be ‘very tough’ but that it’s ‘just another three points, nothing more” should they win.

Madrid lead La Liga by a solitary point over Barcelona with this trip the first of their two games in hand, with the French boss keen for his side to stay focused and stay on track.

“If we win at the Mestalla, it’s just another three points, nothing more,” Zidane told reporters ahead of the game.

“We know it’s going to be very tough and we are going to have to work very hard – they have been playing much better recently.

“Previously they were playing well but not picking up results and now, they have changed. The results are there to see and the team is playing well.

“It’s a tough stadium to play at, but at the end of the day it’s just another three points, nothing more.”
