Real Madrid have been terrific entertainment since Coach Zinedine Zidane took over the team. Not only for trophies won, but for the surging, enviable and dramatic will-to-win.
Zinedine Zidane's arrival at Real Madrid has sparked a plethora of worship for the superstar as well as his ability to get the team back to its attacking best. Since his takeover, Los Blancos have managed to get 10 of 12 points and have scored a whopping 17 goals in four games.
Of course the tests thus far have not been overly demanding, but the reality is that Madrid has, for the most part romped through teams that they were struggling to unlock.
Zizou's tactics have truly benefitted a number of players and it is interesting to see how the adjustment has been made under the new coach. Here are the players that have benefitted most from the French legend.
Three games into anyone's tenure is a small sample size. Yet it is a sufficient enough sample to start drawing some conclusions about style of play and approach to the game. That has been the case with Zinedine Zidane's start to his Real Madrid career where the results have been solid overall, but there have been some interesting questions to be fully aware of.
Isco and James Rodriguez were the conspicuous absences of Real Madrid's 2-2 draw against Valencia, with their replacement, Mateo Kovacic, being the man to earn a red card and kill his club's chances at taking over the game.
Zinedine Zidane. A living legend. But also a polarizing one. France's eternal superstar and one of the greatest players to ever put on the boots proved to be the hero for his country in one instance and its antihero in another. Zidane's great World Cup career took place over the course of two tournaments.
