• Civil war in Barcelona.Messi accuses Abidal of "dirtying" the entire workforce

Zinedine Zidane did not want to confirm the return of Eden Hazard in the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad , in the quarterfinals match, and simply assured that he is "happy" to have the Belgian again after "a bad injury".

" There is no exception, tomorrow will be seen, " said Zidane when asked if Hazard will have minutes after more than two months of loss to the Royal Society.

"We are happy to have Eden with us, he has had a bad injury and now he is, little by little, better. Real Madrid players are happy to have him and take advantage of him for many years," he added.

The Madrid coach asked for time for Luka Jovic after the player admitted that it is costing him at Real Madrid and does not recognize the level shown last season in Germany.

"We are here to try to help Luka and that he is better off and especially within the team, which is the most important thing. It is achieved by training and little by little, it is already six months and it can cost but it is normal within a process of adaptation. You have to be patient , work and work, "he said.

"Barça has no weaknesses"

The coach was skeptical at the start to talk about the situation in Barcelona after the statements of sports director Eric Abidal and the response of Leo Messi , but ended up emphasizing that nothing will affect the Barca team on the pitch. "We are not going to take advantage of the weakness of the rival ever because Barcelona has no weaknesses . It is a competitive team that will do well until the end of the season," he said.

"We do not think for a minute that Barcelona is weak. We are fine and we must continue in the same way because this is very long and we have not won anything. You can be happy when you have something but we have nothing," he said.

Zidane acknowledged that he does not prepare any of his appearances, after being questioned by Abidal's phrase against the players that caused the controversy. "I do not prepare anything, the only thing I do not think about others because I have enough work . It is a problem to come here to always talk about the same thing. I do not prepare anything, sometimes they tell me something that happens and they can ask me but in the end always is the same".
