Real Madrid are set to compete for the Club World Cup and their coach, Zinedine Zidane, claimed he is not entertained by the fact that his team might carry a potential red card over into El Clasico.Although the Frenchman dismissed any thought of his players prioritising the clash against Barcelona over the upcoming fixture, he insisted that they will have to avoid being sent-off throughout the tournament."It's one thing that can happen and the players will keep that in mind," he said at the press conference prior to the match against Al Jazira. "It is a bit tough that a red in this Club World Cup can affect the league, but I am positive and I know that nothing will happen and that [all the players] will be available against Barcelona."[At the moment] we are only thinking about the Club World Cup."We will do our best to win the competition, but it won't be easy and firstly we have to get to the final."The Los Blancos boss went on to analyse the tournament's semi-final."It's not like last year, as there is less time difference and that's better for us," he added."We have trained for two days and we have studied the rival as always, but the most important thing is what we are going to do [on Wednesday]."We have a semi-final that people say it's easy, but we don't think so. "We all want to play a great game and that's why we have to be concentrated."His team is set to experience VAR technology on Wednesday and Zidane claimed that it is something invented to assist the progress of football."Technology has been brought in to improve things," he noted."If we go into details, there are things that I don't like. "It's a topic to talk about in depth and now it's not the time."
