Zinedine Zidane spoke on Saturday (20th August) ahead of Real Madrid's first La Liga game against Real Sociedad.
1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach: (on Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema):
"It's a good thing that Cristiano (Ronaldo) is on the pitch touching the ball, like you've seen, that's a good sign. Anyway, he wants to get back as soon as possible (he gets tongue-tied) - thanks, sometimes my Spanish fails. But no, I'm happy to see him practice, I really am. And then Karim's (Benzema) situation is a little bit different. He was on the pitch today but didn't touch the ball, so we need to take some time. I spoke to him and explained to him that we don't want to have him getting in and out. We'll wait and try to have him 100% ready, and then keep him until the end of the season."

5. 00:34 SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach (on possible new signings):
"It's impossible. If nobody gets out no players can get in, that's for sure. But the most important thing is that I'm happy with this squad. It will always be messy to decide the team but I'm truly happy with this squad, this great squad."

8. 00:56 SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach (on Real Sociedad):
"Real Sociedad are just like you said: sometimes they don't play as well when they don't play at home but they're really good at home, very dangerous. It will be a very difficult game for us because on top of it all they are a team who play from minute one until the very end, no matter what."
