Getafe coach Jose Bordalas has no doubts about the quality of Real Madrid counterpart Zinedine Zidane.
The LaLiga resumes with Getafe meeting Real in a local Madrid derby.
Bordalas said of Zidane: "I think he is an outstanding leader. He knows how to handle a locker room like Real Madrid, he has won what almost nobody has and for me is a reference. Real Madrid has been really good.
"I'm a coach of Getafe and that's what I think. We each have our personality and the way we interpret football. I have respect and admiration for Zidane."
Asked about Real challenging defending champions Barcelona, Bordalas added: "I see them at an even level. At Camp Nou, Real Madrid deserved the victory. It is always a candidate to win the title. It does not surprise me and I would not dare to give a favourite."
