Real Madrid have enjoyed eight special days, defeating Sevilla, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Atlético de Madrid without conceding a single goal. Zinedine Zidane reflected on the entire week as he spoke at his post-match press conference following Saturday’s 2-0 win over Atleti.
The coach told the media: “It has been a good week with three good games. Above all, I am happy for the players. I think we have improved many things. We started this against Sevilla, we went through Borussia and then today I think we have competed very well from minute one to minute 90. We haven’t won anything, it’s only three points, but we have to be happy with a job well done. . We will play again on Tuesday and we have to recover well ”.
Zidane was asked about rotations, given that he has hardly changed his lineup in these three games. He was asked if he still plans to rotate a lot for the rest of the season. On that, he said: “I’m going to believe in all my players. This was a specific time where we didn’t do a lot of rotations for these games. But, all the players are training. Unfortunately, there are players who will play less, but I think you win with all the players. I am convinced of this and the players know it too ”.
Lastly, he was asked about the trio of midfielders made up of Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić and if they are still as good as they were a few years ago. “Of course,” Zidane said. “They are showing a very high level.”
