Zidane: I can not imagine the Liga without Barca...!

MADRID: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said he can not imagine the Spanish league without Barcelona rivals, as news of Catalonia's possible independence from the kingdom is brewing.

"I can not imagine Allega without Barca. The Catalan team has always been here. As a football fan I want the Bulgarians to stay," Zidane told a news conference. "I do not want to talk about Catalonia's independence."

"Of course I would have liked the Real Madrid players to stay away from the FIFA World Cup, especially with the start of the Champions League.

"I'm always with the team and I'm not happy to be booed. I do not like to talk about the referees because they are human beings like us and they can go wrong but they are in a development stage."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for the start of his career in the Champions League next Wednesday, and he is happy to return to the stadium after the suspension, and may play Marco Ascencio against Levante."

Zidane once again defended Welsh player Gareth Bell, saying he did not "see it as bad as it was."

"The player can not be happy when he is booed, but I see him in a good psychological state, and I do not see him as bad as he is talking about. All the players and the players are important in the team and will perform very well this year."

"Whistles in a game that does not play well or the wrong result will always happen, and even more in Real Madrid, we can not avoid a draw or another result we do not get on the 3 points. We will not avoid this, but we must try to win all the games."

"I agree with the decision of the English Premier League to close the transfer market before the tournament starts. The teams do not have to change during the season."

Real Madrid host Levante on Saturday in the third round of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabeu.
