Deportivo La Coruna winger Lucas Perez says they do not fear meeting Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid.

Zidane makes his debut as Real coach against Depor.

“With a new coach, they will be going flat out, to show that they have a place in the side and they'll be keen to win.

"But they would have done exactly the same under (Rafa) Benítez – for their recent results and because the Bernabéu demands a lot given Real Madrid's grandeur. With Zidane, they have the support of the Bernabéu, and that will benefit them," said Perez.

Like many football fans in Spain, the 27-year-old clearly remembers watching Zidane during the Frenchman's playing days: “What can you say about him? He was one of the best players in history. I have a great admiration for players like him."
