Zidane defends Real Madrid's style of play as Los Blancos attackers struggle

Los Blancos had to dig deep to overcome Real Valladolid on Sunday, but the coach has no complaints about his side's playing style

Zinedine Zidane has defended Real Madrid's style of play and insisted he will not change his coaching methods amid recent criticism.

Nacho Fernandez was the unlikely match-winner in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid as Madrid won a third La Liga game in a row to open a three-point lead over Barcelona at the summit.

None of Madrid's six league goals in 2020 have been scored by attackers and they struggled to create chances at Estadio Jose Zorrilla.
