As a good Frenchman, Zidane watched his national team be crowned world champions in Russia, a team that won the World Cup with two essential playes on the pitch: Pogba and Kante.
Didier Deschamps relied on this pair in midfield to give more depth to the team, leaving Mbappe and Griezmann in the offensive scheme, with Giroud as centre forward.
This is why, in the World Cup, goals came from midfield as well as the strike force, thanks to France's great offensive strategy.
Zidane has created something similar with Real Madrid, turning a problem of his lack of strikers into something of great quality. This means he has relied on his midfielders for goals.
Without Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale or Karim Benzema on the pitch, Zidane did not hesitate in placing Isco and Jovic in the attacking roles, followed by Kroos, Modric, Casemiro and Fede Valverde. This strategy has worked wonders for him.
