Karim Benzema credits Zinedine Zidane for impressive form

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema lavishes praise on Los Blancos assistant manager Zinedine Zidane.

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has praised the club's assistant manager Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane, who took on a coaching role with Los Blancos at the start of the season, has been described as 'like a big brother' by Benzema.

"Zizou is working well with the whole team, but it's true that he and I talk a lot each day," the 26-year-old told reporters at a press conference.

"Zidane is like my big brother. He advises me and makes me work specifically in front of goal.

"It works. Zidane recommended that I move a lot to the near post against Villarreal and that's how I scored my first goal."

Benzema has scored 17 goals in 32 games this season.
