Zinedine Zidane, coach of Real Madrid, He spoke to the Real Madrid TV microphones after the victory by the minimum (1-0) against Valladolid.

Uncomfortable opponent: “It's true that we played against a very strong team that defended well. We knew it was going to be difficult, but it's three points for us. We just started. We didn't have a brilliant game, but you have to be patient and calm. The most important thing is was to add “.

Change in the second part: “Something had to change because in the first half we weren't good and we had to change. In this team everyone is ready to play and that's what we did, change. In the second half we were much better.”

Clean sheet: “It is very important. We have had problems in the counterattack because it was their game. The only thing is that we had a lot of losses of balls and that is not usual for us. The players have given everything. We know we can improve and we will improve.”

Minutes later, the Madrid coach analyzed other aspects of the game in the usual press conference after the games.

Vinicius performance: “I am happy for the goal and what he has done. But in general, also with the entry of Asensio and Carvajal. In the end when we change it is to change to something else. And we did it with the changes ”.

Hazard injury: “I can't tell you how long. Some damage has been done in pre-match training. It was like a contracture and in the end it was a bit more. It is at the muscular level, it has nothing to do with the injury he had. It could pass because it is a long time without playing. I think it's not much and I can't tell you exactly how long it will be.

Hazard Cheer: “He's upset, of course, because he was fine. We talked about it at the press conference before the game. He was happy, but then he resented something. These are things that can happen. I don't think he's touched, he's not happy, but he knows it's a small thing. Tranquility. You have to be calm with him, it is a matter of little time for sure ”.

No one is going out: “I cannot confirm it. Up to the 5th can pass. Jovic is a player of this squad… I think. I'm the coach and I decide the line-up, that's it ”.

If it would allow a Jovic exit: “I can't tell you anything. Anything can happen. At the moment he is here, he is a player on the squad. He played and that's it “

Courtois, fundamental: “Yes. We have talked about it last week, it is true that it has saved us and tonight as well. It is for that. He is our goalkeeper ”.
