SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach (on his contract renewal)

"My renewal has already been done, but it doesn't mean anything. What I care about is our day-by-day. I don't see anything further than my day-by-day. You know what this is like - this is difficult, this is hard, you have to perform well and that's it."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach (on Gareth Bale and his inconsistency)

"We need to be patient with him. You all, we all know his level and how good he is when he's totally recovered. But he's going to need some time. We are seeing him back slowly, but that's normal, he still needs more time, OK, to see the best Gareth. But still, he's fine already, he's very well."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach (on the motivation for La Liga over the Champions League)

"It (La Liga) is more difficult, and when things are more difficult they're more beautiful. La Liga is the most difficult thing in the world for me. I remember you asked me once what was the happiest day of my career, and it was when we won La Liga. And for us, don't get it wrong, our day-by-day is La Liga. Champions League is very important too, but our day-by-day is La Liga and the players know it well. Winning La Liga is harder, it is more difficult and it is more beautiful."
