The 20-year-old was thrilled with his decisive strike at Mestalla, explaining that he celebrated with Blancos assistant coach Zinedine Zidane as he's been a huge influence on him
Jese Rodriguez admitted he had fulfilled "a dream" by netting the winner for Real Madrid in their La Liga clash with Valencia on Sunday night.
The 20-year-old struck late at Mestalla to hand Los Blancos a vital 3-2 victory that saw them draw back to within five points of Liga leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Jese, who has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Bernabeu, was understandably delighted with his match-winning contribution, claiming afterwards that the mass celebrations on the Madrid bench following his goal underlined the sense of unity in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
“I’m fulfilling a dream and today I’m especially happy because my goal was the winning goal,” the forward told reporters.
“The team is united - it shows by the way we all celebrated my goal.
“I’ve said I want to stay here and earn my minutes on the pitch. The coach is now giving me my chance and I appreciate it. I hope to contribute more.”
Jese admitted to searching out Zinedine Zidane after finding the net in order to share the moment with the France legend, revealing that the Blancos assistant coach has played a big role in the progress he’s made at the Santiago Bernabeu.
