Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has hailed Federico Valverde\u2019s form, after their 4-2 win over Granada on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Valverde, 21, made his third straight LaLiga start for Madrid, setting up a goal for Eden Hazard, as Los Blancos moved four points clear at the top.<\/p>\n

The Uruguay international\u2019s display was lauded by Zidane, who praised the midfielder\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy for him. He deserves it, he\u2019s a player that\u2019ll always prove just how good he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s improving, he\u2019s doing exceptionally well and he\u2019s always moving forward, he wants to get on the ball and he had a hand in the goals.
\n\u201cThis is a team game and that first-half performance was brilliant in every sense. We did really well in terms of getting out of our half with the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the kind of player he [Valverde] is. He\u2019s a bit of a modern player, he\u2019s got a fantastic engine on him, it\u2019s not only in attack because he puts in just as much work in defence too and that\u2019s important in the modern game and he\u2019s doing well, just as many of them are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted for Fede because he\u2019s getting game time and he deserves it,\u201d the Madrid coach told a news conference.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
