Zinedine Zidane: Modric has to shoot more

Luka Modric scored a stunning winner for Real Madrid against Granada, and Zinedine Zidane wants to see more such efforts in future.

Zinedine Zidane has urged Luka Modric to shoot from range more often after his stunning late goal secured a 2-1 win for Real Madrid away to Granada.

Youssef El-Arabi canceled out Karim Benzema's first-half opener at Los Carmenes and Madrid looked set to fall further adrift of La Liga leaders Barcelona after another stuttering performance on the road.

Modric proved the hero for the capital club, however, blasting the winner into the top corner from 25 yards with just five minutes remaining, and Zidane was delighted with what proved to be a telling contribution.
