As for Benzema, who is having some difficulty adjusting to La Liga, Zidane praised the striker: "He has talent, but he needs do what Madrid demands of him."

As for Raul, Zidane praised his former team-mate. "Raul is an example. His attitude is phenomenal."

Ribery made a decision

Franck Ribery wants to leave Bayern Munich and join Real Madrid, sports daily L'Equipe quoted the France midfielder as saying on Thursday.

Ribery's compatriot Karim Benzema has already agreed to join the Spanish side from Olympique Lyon and become Real's third major signing after Brazil's Kaka and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I have made up my mind, I want to leave," Ribery told Thursday's issue of L'Equipe. "It will be Real (Madrid) or nothing.
