Copa del Rey fixtures have started and Real Madrid travels to Unionistas de Salamanca on Wednesday evening. The 'Unionistas' is a second division team with a very small stadium (4,000) and their fans are making huge efforts to host the "galactic" team.

For Zidane, the rival and the pitch make no difference in their attitude, "We know the situation, we know where we're playing, we know the rival, but in the end, this is a football match and it's our duty to be ready, always."

He said it's going to be no surprise for any of his players to play in such a stadium, "It's been a long time for some of us, maybe 10 or 15 years, but we've all played in very different pitches throughout the world, also in difficult ones."

Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez are now fully fit to play after their injuries, however, Zidane refused to confirm whether or not they will be playing against the 'Unionistas'.
