Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane singled out Isco for praise after the 3-1 win over Valencia in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals, taking no credit for his recovery and expressing delight at his strong form.
The Spain international scored a goal in the routine win, which booked Los Blancos' spot in Sunday's final against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. Per Goal's Joe Wright, Zidane explained how he and Luka Modric worked well together on Wednesday:
"I had no role in Isco's recovery, I'm just glad about it. He has personality and wants to play.
