Real Madrid coach Zidane happy with Vinicius Jr after recall

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was happy with Vinicius Junior's performance for victory over Espanyol.

Zidane recalled the youngster for the 2-0 and was impressed.

He said, "The main thing is that the player wants to score goals, work hard and you've got to look at what he did, he did very well. He performed very well in attack and in defence, as they all did.

"What's more, after having played less of late, it was his turn today and he did pretty well. He always has to work hard and he did that. Goals come with confidence, the important thing is to score one and get on the goals trail. But I look at the whole pitcure and after having not featured much he did well and that's important to me."
