Zidane:

Zinedine Zidane recently discussed the latest developments at Real Madrid, including the club's B-team, which he manages, players with the first team and Cristiano Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or award.

Cristiano Ronaldo: "He'll win more Ballon d'Or trophies. What he's doing right now is out of this planet. If he keeps going as he is then he'll keep winning the trophy and he could even win more than Messi".

Karim Benzema: "He's another very important player. Sometimes there's debate about whether Real need to change the main striker, but that would be a mistake. He's not a player that'll score 60 goals a year like Cristiano, but with the qualities he has he works well with the rest of the players and always does what's right for the team. Very few players in the world can do that".

Castilla: "We need to be patient. We need to work with humility, like I did as a player. It's better to start badly and finish well than the other way around, and nothing's been decided yet".

Coaching badges: "That's all been resolved. I'll finish [studying for my licence] in May and I'll be able to operate as a coach without any problems. I just want to be allowed to coach my players. That's what I like and all I want to do at the moment. I really feel at home with Real Madrid. Would I like to manage the first team here in the future? We'll see. For the moment I'm with Castilla and I'm very happy with how things are. We'll see what happens in the future".

Isco: "He's like me on a technical level. The fans love him, and he's having a great time just now".
