The Germany international scored a crucial goal as the Liga side built a first-leg lead against Napoli, delighting the French coach
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane hailed the impact of Toni Kroos after the midfielder's goal helped them to victory over Napoli.
The Champions League holders came from behind to win 3-1 in the first leg of their last-16 tie at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, with the Germany international scoring the second goal.
Zidane lauded Kroos' performance and thinks the 27-year-old has heeded his instruction to make more of an impression in both boxes.
"Kroos likes to arrive late in the box and we spoke about it recently," Zidane told UEFA.
