Van Gaal 'Very Happy' That Zidane Isn't Playing

Barcelona coach Louis Van Gaal was a happy man on hearing the news that Zinedine Zidane won't be playing for Real Madrid against his side this weekend.

"It makes me very happy, if Zidane isn't playing, it is very good for us," he said. "I like this player very much and it's better if he doesn't play, but also we have players that cannot play and perhaps Del Bosque thinks the same."
