Zinedine Zidane took to the media room at the Audi Field Stadium on the eve of Real Madrid's second outing in the International Champions Cup. The Whites' boss previewed the meeting with Arsenal, which will be played on Tuesday going into Wednesday morning (1am CET): "In our first game, we saw some very good things. We have to think about tomorrow's game and do exactly the same. We know that we're up against a team that have more games under their belts than us. We continue with our preparations and are intent on getting more up to speed and doing as best as we possibly can in this second game".



"We're aware that Arsenal have played more games than us, but the important thing for us are the vibes. We want to perform as we did the other day, try and have possession and take as few risks as possible when out of possession. We have to get up to speed and here's hoping it's a good game".



Were your comments on Bale misinterpreted?

"That's the problem. At times my Spanish is a bit confusing. I'm going to try and be very clear. Firstly, I haven't shown a lack of respect towards anyone and particularly not towards a player. I've always said the same thing: the players are the most important ones in all of this. Whenever there's a player involved, I'll always back them. Secondly, what I said the other day is that the club was working on his exit. Thirdly, Gareth didn't come on because he didn't want to. He said that the club was working on his exit and that's why he didn't come on. Gareth is a Real Madrid player, he'll train as normal today and we'll have to see what happens tomorrow".



Kubo

"He knows where he is. The lad's training very well and he's got no fear about playing. He enjoys playing and is a good player. As he has said, all of the players here are important, that's to be expected. We here to prepare for our season and Kubo is with us for the time being. He's training, he played the other day and I'm not thinking about what'll come next. We'll go back to Madrid and let's see what happens".
