ZINÉDINE ZIDANE on …

… the victory against Atlético: “We played a strong game from the first to the last minute against a team that did not lose 26 games in a row. We plow them, press them and don’t let go after the break. That means a lot to me as a coach. We can all be very satisfied. But there is nothing to celebrate, the season is long and things are going very fast for us anyway. We have to be able to play consistently at this level. “

… the perfect week with three wins: “Yes, it was a great week for us. I am especially happy for my players who are fighting for such results. They always believe in themselves and what they do. That is why it is much better to be rewarded for it. The team has improved in everything. First against Sevilla, then against Mönchengladbach, now against Atlético. It’s important that we were there from the first to the last minute, that’s crucial. “

… defensive stability: “Saul shot at the door once, that was all. It is essential that we defend the ball as one. That players like Benzema, Modrić or Kroos also work well the other way around. That worked fine again today. “
