Zine dine appeared in the press room at Real Madrid City the day before the match against Leganés. The Whites’ coach spoke about the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals: "We must go out thinking that the tie is not over. That’s the most important thing. We’re playing against a team that never gives up and works until the end. It's a cup game and we must do the same as in the first leg: score and keep a clean sheet".

"Leganés were losing 2-0 in their last league match and drew. They deserve credit for that. They are really motivated and it’s the cup. By scoring one goal, anything can happen. We know the importance of the game and the team we’re coming up against. They’ll not drop their guard and will fight and believe until the end".

Trust
"We’ll see tomorrow. We must continue like this and we have the opportunity to have another good game. We must continue with the same spirit that we have shown during the last week".

System
"I said the same thing after the match against Deportivo: the system doesn’t matter, the attitude matters. The important thing is how we can cause the opponent problems. Against Sevilla we played with a 4-4-2 and scored five goals and had a great game. The other day we played with a 4-3-3. We’ve also played in a diamond and things have gone well. It’ll not change the way we prepare for matches. What interests me is the match tomorrow and putting out the best team to win and move forward game by game".

Bale
"What has changed is that he’s no longer in pain and that is key for a player. He is better now. He is showing that he is very important. Hopefully he continues like this: picking up confidence and continuing to improve".
