Real Madrid coach Zidane 'really pleased' with defeat of RB Salzburg

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was pleased with their 1-0 win at friendly opponents RB Salzburg.

Eden Hazard enjoyed his best performance in a Real Madrid shirt to date, capped by his right-footed rocket for the winner.

Zidane said, “I'm really pleased. We put in a good performance, that's why we came here. We're going to do great things this season and now it's important to carry on with our preseason preparation because there's still another game before LaLiga kicks off.

"We're gradually getting ready and we're better every day. That was confirmed by today's match.

“I value the team's efforts because it's not easy and it was important to put on a display like this against a tough side. There are no small teams. If you're not focused, any team can make life difficult. Today we were disciplined and showed intensity. We struggled a bit more in the second half but we're happy to have won the game."
