Zinedine Zidane insists he will not put pressure on the Real Madrid board to bring in attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes.
Madrid have been quiet since the market re-opened and the 0-0 stalemate at Real Sociedad to kick off their La Liga title defence in underwhelming fashion suggested Zidane might have to seek solutions beyond his squad.
However, despite allowing creative talents such as Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Brahim Diaz to leave, the head coach told reporters ahead of Saturday's match against Real Betis that he will not be pestering Florentino Perez to get the chequebook out.
