'We all know the player Isco is' - Zidane happy with midfielder's impact

Zinedine Zidane urged Isco to maintain his fine form after the midfielder scored for the second time in two La Liga games since the Real Madrid coach's return.

Isco equalised for Madrid in Sunday's 3-2 victory at home to bottom side Huesca, with the five-goal thriller settled by a Karim Benzema strike in the 89th minute.

The Spain international did not start any La Liga matches under Zidane's predecessor Santiago Solari but has been reintroduced into the fold by the Frenchman.
