He's an important player. We'll see what happens this year, I have a big squad and it's complicated." Madrid bolstered their attacking ranks by re-signing Alvaro Morata from Juventus last month, but Zidane was just as cautious about talking up the returning striker's role in the team."He [Morata] is one more player in the team," he added. "He knows what Madrid is and we're happy to see Alvaro with us. "We're going to have a much bigger squad and everyone will be important. He'll be one more."Discussing Jese Rodriguez's first-team prospects, Zidane explained: "Last year he [Jese] didn't have many minutes. "I like him, I like him a lot as a player. He can have minutes here, he knows his quality."Madrid begin their LaLiga season at Real Sociedad on August 21.</blockquote>
