ZIDANE PLANS RETRIBUTION

Last updated : 21 April 2003 By editor

Zidane, miffed at Real’s performance against Barcelona on Saturday said his side would take out their frustration on United.

"I expect to make up for the disappointment of not beating Barca and not scoring by getting a goal on Wednesday," Zidane said. "I'm quite certain our goals will start to flow again against Manchester. Barcelona came here and made it difficult for us by putting six or seven men behind the ball in a way United never do.

"That means we have dropped two points but we are still top of the league. All we will do now is rest, think about the United game and lay on another spectacle there."

Marc Overmars was quick to offer advice to United on how to beat Madrid.

"It is a question of psychology when you play against Madrid you have to fight to the last minute like we did. You need to play aggressively and close them down. If you look at the last 20 minutes of the first game, the chances United made and what we showed in the way we played Madrid, you can see that if United get a quick goal at Old Trafford then things could change. They need to take out Madrid's big players and not let them play. Figo, Zidane, Raul - you let them play and they always cause problems."
