Z. Zidane: A particularly challenging season ahead

The head coach of Madrid's "Real", Zinedine Zidane, was not very satisfied with the results achieved in the friendly match cycle this summer, but he has no doubt that the team is ready to start the upcoming season victoriously.

On Tuesday evening, "Real" players will compete for the first season's trophy - in the UEFA Super Cup they will meet "Manchester United". In addition to this trophy, the "whites" will fight for five other titles in the upcoming season.

Z. Zidane claims that this year they are facing a tougher season than before, but he is convinced that even poor results during the season preparation will not prevent the team from achieving their highest goals.

"I was a bit angry at the last press conference because I did not like the match against MLS stars. Now I am calmer and I have no doubt that the team is also ready to fight for the Super Cup trophy," said Z. Zidane.

"I think the preparation for the first official matches went smoothly. The players feel rested and physically prepared for this duel. We know that this whole season will be very difficult.

Cristiano joined us just a few days ago, so we are not sure if he will be able to play, but his physical condition is impeccable. We will see who will appear on the field tomorrow," said the coach.
