The best Real Madrid in defense. It is the starting point of leadership. Zidane recognizes that in modern soccer that virtue is essential, since his team has the quality to score. Eleven goals for and two against in the five days played in the Coronavirus League. Those two efficiencies have carved out this first place.
Zinedine Zidane spoke of the relevance of the victory, the leadership and the great action of Benzema in Casemiro’s goal, which returned to the title after the sanction: «It is a very important victory, but the League will be decided on the last day. We must fight, we must fight. Espanyol defended very well in the first half and we were physically better in the second half. I am very happy with my players. And winning, winning and winning matches is not easy. I have to congratulate my players.
He appreciated the heel of his compatriot: «I am not surprised by anything Karim does. He is a player who invents things on the field and the control, the heel and the pass are great. It can be one of the plays of the championship. It is a team move. Karim improves every year, because it takes care of itself. I don’t know until when he will play, until he says ».
He stopped those who already make him champion: «I don’t notice that we are winning the League, this will be decided on the last day. Look how difficult it is to play against the last. In this League I never know knows. I remember the league we won, it was on the last day. Nothing has changed. It is very difficult to win five games in a row, not only for a physical issue, but for the mental one. So I am very happy with my players. Hazard suffered a blow on an ankle and put on ice: “We all know Hazard’s position and where he is most comfortable. He took a hit, but I don’t think it’s anything else. We are not concerned that he has a goal, we are happy with what he brings to the team.
Casemiro, the author of the winning goal, was resounding: «There are three more points that we have won, another final that we have won and we are going for the League. In the goal that I have marked, it would be unfair not to speak of Karim’s move. It is a luxurious heel, which left me almost without a goalkeeper. In addition to the merit of Benzema, we must also give it to the team. I know Benzema and it is normal for me to do this. Karim’s quality is not nine, it is ten. I already know how he plays and I ask him for the ball into space, then that incredible heel comes and the goal belongs to him ».
He praised Real Madrid’s defensive ability: «We have defended all of them. There are what to value that is another game with the goal to zero and that is important for the defense. We are going game by game. Now we have to think about Getafe, which is going to be a difficult match. We have to play with heart and passion because we want this League. This year we are one of the teams that least fit in Europe and also with the quality that we have above we know that we are going to score a goal. There is still a lot. “
