Zidane: “It was a team victory and a perfect display”

“In the second half we had two or three chances to score a fourth”, said the coach.
Real Madrid came out on top in the Clásico and Zinedine Zidane appeared in the Camp Nou press room to assess the win: “I’m thrilled for the players. It’s a team victory. We put on a perfect display. Taking all three points here is not easy. We had to think like a team and it was a great game to do just that. It’s only 3 points. At the same time, especially given the criticism we’ve faced recently, we have to stay calm, stick together and play when we have to play, just as we did today”.

“Ultimately, we’ve put in a great performance against a team that we know play wide open. It was a good game, we deserve it and I’m pleased for the players after all that’s been said in recent days. I’m thrilled for them. Finishing off with Luka’s fantastic goal, I saw the team together, a real tight unit and I’m pleased for them because they’re the ones who put a shift in out on the pitch. We should be happy and enjoy what we’ve managed to do”.

Has the team been treated unfairly?
“I don’t know about unfairly. In the end that’s not going to change and we’ve talked about it several times… What I can say, is that I’m proud of my team. I think we delivered a great performance. We were up against a side who can cause you real problems at their ground. In the second half we had 2 or 3 chances to get the fourth goal. Now we have to rest up well and turn our attentions to Tuesday’s game because it’s upon us already”.
