Zinedine Zidane assesses Real Madrid’s difficulty in breaking through Atletico Madrid’s goal in the continuing LaLiga match was due to lack of creativity.
Real Madrid were more dominant when facing Atletico. Based on statistics, Eden Hazard and his mates won the ball up to 56 percent. In addition, Madrid also created 14 opportunities.
Zidane stated, the key to performance when facing Atletico is to appear compact. However, he highlighted the sharpness of Los Merengues that dulled.
“We know it is very important to appear suppressing in every game. However, the key is to appear solid. Real Madrid appeared tough in this match,” explained Zinedine Zidane as reported by the official website of El Real.
“Atletico Madrid did not create a single chance against us and that is important. We lost our ability up front. We should be able to create more opportunities,” he continued.
Although Real Madrid failed to win, Zidane was not phased. The coach, who played at Juventus, asked his team to immediately shift their focus to the next match.
“We go home with a smile because we were able to achieve one point. We have to think about the next fight,” said Zidane.
One additional point does not change the position of Real Madrid from the top of the standings. Currently, Madrid are one point ahead of Granada and Atletico who are below.
