Zinedine Zidane was very happy in the press conference after winning his second trophy as Real Madrid manager. In both games, the manager had to suffer until the last minute but the reward was worthy. Two titles in eight months as a coach in La Liga.

Yesterday’s game was very tough. Real Madrid had to play without all their stars and the youngster have to step forward to help the team. Zidane is convinced that everybody is important and, if the players deserve it, they will play a lot of minutes.

One example is Marco Asensio. He was the big news in Zidane’s first official line up in the season. James Rodríguez stayed in bench for the youngster, who scored a cracking goal in the first half. Zidane only spoke good words about the former Espanyol player: “Asensio is going to stay with us. That’s my plan. When he has to play, he does it well and today I’m very happy with his job”.

Asensio played in the midfield together with Casemiro, Kovacic or Lucas Vázquez. Most of the main players were ruled out, including Luka Modric: “We had to make a line up and Luka wasn’t there. I took this decision because I think he can’t play 90 or 120 minutes”, Zidane explained.

The squad is not closed yet. Some players might arrive in these last days and also some other players can leave the club. Zidane is not worried about it: “We have a good squad for sure. If we can’t buy, we are not going to do it. We have a long and good squad, with players with experience and some others very young. The most important thing is the group”, Zidane explained.

The important thing is the group and the coach. Zidane has changed the club in only seven months and everybody looks very happy with the French manager. Actually, the players interrupted the press conference to spread water on top of the coach. He has become the first person to win the European Supercup both as a player and as a coach of Real Madrid.
