"After the confinement, when we came back to work I think that the players, after being home for three months, wanted to do great things and you could see it in the training session. You always talk about the matches but during training sessions I see the players and they wanted something. They were training phenomenally, they wanted to stay (training), to do much more things after training, so this tells you everything about this team."

You try to create things between us but you will not be able to. Besides you always ask the same question and you can do it, you have the right to answer whatever you want, but you will not be able to. We are united and we all think and want the same. Gareth, James and everyone here think and want the same."

STORY: Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said on Wednesday (July 15) there is a lot of noise around his team about becoming La Liga champions and possible celebrations but his side is only focussed on the match against Villarreal.

Real Madrid trophy wins are usually marked by masses of fans flocking to the city's Cibeles fountain, where they are joined by the team on an open-top bus before heading into the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to continue the party.

But their imminent La Liga title triumph, which will be clinched with victory against Villarreal on Thursday, will feel very different due to public caution about mass gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real are set to wrap up the title without any fans present at their tiny Alfredo Di Stefano stadium inside their training complex, where they have been playing home matches in order to accelerate renovation work to the Bernabeu.

The traditional party at Cibeles has also been called off, with Real releasing a statement urging fans not to gather in the city centre.

Asked about a possible exit by Welsh forward Gareth Bale, the French coach was clearly annoyed and said Gareth is a member of the squad.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is rarely shown the same levels of admiration as his peers but by leading the club to the title after overcoming numerous obstacles, he has proved that no-one is better suited to coaching the team.

Zidane said at news conference he does not feel mistreated but lucky to train Real Madrid.
