Real Madrid coach Zidane: Valladolid a brave team

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane expects a big test tonight against Real Valladolid.

Zidane is happy to be back at the Bernabeu.

He said, "First and foremost, we're excited to be back at our stadium 100 days on from our last game here. The players are really glad to be starting another season with a game at the Bernabéu in front of our supporters.

"It's not an easy game, there are no easy games here, there are no straightforward ones. Nowadays you simply can't say that you're up against Valladolid and are going to win. In football, you've got to go out and prove it on the pitch. Valladolid have made a really good start to the LaLiga season, last time round they had a good year, they're a brave side and will come here looking to put in a good performance.

"It's down to us and we have to focus on reproducing what we did in Vigo and try to do even better."
