Zidane also said players who performed well against Deportivo would hold no hard feelings against him should they find themselves on the bench against Valencia. "I don't just drop players, I speak with them and explain my thinking and we move forward together," he added. "...I understand this debate but now I'm the coach of Real Madrid, I have to decide, and I'm always thinking about what's best for Real Madrid as a family. "I know I have an extraordinary squad and everyone is committed ...We all want to follow the same path." Bale is still suffering from a calf injury while Ramos returns from a one-game suspension for getting sent off against Barcelona.
