Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says Luka Jovic has his confidence.

The Frenchman spoke of his confidence in the Serbian striker ahead of the match against Valencia.

"There's a good feeling despite the absences," Zidane said at his Supercopa de Espana press conference in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night.

"We have a deep squad and the others can respond.

"Jovic is clearly an option.

"He is the future.

"There's a need to be calm with him as he is learning.

"He is a kid who really wants to learn.

"He's very good and he's going to score lots of goals.

"We're backing him and we need to be calm with him."
