Despite a poor season so far, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists their desire is as strong as ever.

Zidane has no concerns about either his own hunger or that of his players.

"I feel the same hunger, but we have had strange things happen to us," Zidane said.

"There are injuries, we didn't have a proper pre-season, but that same desire is never lost.

"That never happens at this club, the players appreciate where they are and what it means to play for Real Madrid, we always have desire, whenever we play a bad game I never believe it to be a matter of desire."
