The head coach of Madrid's "Real" club, Zinedine Zidane, achieved a sweet victory in the city derby, where the main hero was Cristiano Ronaldo, who stood out with a hat-trick.
Yesterday, the Madrid derby took place at the "Vicente Calderon" stadium. Playing as if on wings, the "white" team defeated "Atletico" with a score of 3-0. Z. Zidane was satisfied with his team's work and described the first half, in which one goal was scored, as phenomenal.
"Real" had to play without the services of Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, and Alvaro Morata in this match, but Z. Zidane chose to play with a 4-4-2 tactic, which not only brought great results against "Atletico" this season, but also probably demonstrated one of the most beautiful games of the season.
"I don't think we will always play with this tactic. It was most suitable for these matches, and we will see what happens next," the coach said. "It was a huge match against strong opponents. We started the match well and imposed our conditions for the rest of the time."
"I am very happy with the team's performance. It is not easy to do it against such an opponent. There are only a few teams that have defeated 'Atletico' away with a score of 3-0."
The first 45 minutes were phenomenal. Later, we relaxed a bit, but that is normal. But after 10 minutes of the second half, we regained control of the game in our hands again. We must maintain this form," added Z. Zidane, who had nothing but good words for the excellent performance of Isco in the match.
"Real" is the leader of the Spanish championship and has a 4-point advantage over the nearest opponents from Barcelona.
