Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists total focus on Club World Cup

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says their focus is fully on winning the Club World Cup.

Zidane's side are aiming to win their third trophy of the season at the Club World Cup having already picked up the European Super Cup and the Supercopa de Espana, and first up will be Al Jazira on Wednesday.

"It will not be easy and last year we had a lot of problems before we managed to win it," explained the Frenchman.

"There will not be easy games and for just being Real Madrid we are not going to win. We have time to prepare for the game and there are no excuses. This is the calendar and whoever we face we need to look at doing what we have to do well.

"It is normal that during the season you have ups and downs but what we have done so far is very positive. We have won two titles and and we are trying to win a third. After this we will have six months to fight for LaLiga, the Champions League and the cup."
