Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane commented on the victory in the match of the fifth round of the Spanish Primera with Levante. The match was held at the Ceramica El Madrigal stadium in Villarreal and ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the visitors.

“This is football. There is an opponent who had good moments. We started the first half well, and at the beginning of the second we were able to score the second goal and have a different game. To win, you have to suffer. They had their moments in the second half, but that’s normal. We should be proud of what the guys did, we just started. We have three wins and a draw, what else can I ask for,” Marca quoted Zidane as saying.

Real Madrid scored 10 points in four games and led the League table. Levante (3) is ranked 18th in the table.

Zidane — on the lack of playing time of Vinicius and Rodrigo: this is real Madrid, and they are still boys

Real Madrid Manager Zinedine Zidane answered a question about the small amount of playing time that the club’s players Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo Goes get.

“Such questions are a bit ridiculous. This Is Real Madrid. You can have your opinion, but I work with these players every day. What if Vinicius plays 34% of all matches? And another player will play in 32% of matches, and another one – in 31% of meetings? this

is the reality of this team. There are always those who play more or less. I want to win. The press and social networks do not contribute to this.

They are still boys, both under 21. This is a football reality regardless of whether you play or not.

Before each match, you have to choose 11 players, and you don’t have to think about it anymore. I will do this until it is my turn to leave the club. I think I answered your question,” Zidane was quoted as saying by Marca.

Vinicius made 29 appearances in the 2019/2020 Spanish League season, while Rodrigo made 19.
