Valencia CF v Real Madrid CF - La Liga
Zaza has revived himself in the La Liga

After various loan spells and frequent change in clubs, Simone Zaza has finally seemed to be settled in Valencia. Valencia's Italian frontman has been the most improved striker in La Liga this season.

Simone Zaza has been key to the Valencia's unbeaten start in La Liga 2017/18, scoring nine goals in the process including a hat-trick against Malaga. He is second only to Lionel Messi in the La Liga scoring charts this season.

The former Juventus man has scored a goal every 95 minutes in 2017/18 La Liga season and looked very impressive in front of goal. Simone Zaza has the fifth best conversion rate (33.3%) among players with at least six goals in Europe’s top five leagues.

Valencia sits at the top of the La Liga table only behind Barcelona. Marcelino knows this is their best chance to win the La Liga title and Zaza will be looking to add a lot more goals to his tally.
