Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos insists he harbours no bitterness towards Zinedine Zidane over his lack of playing time last season.
The 22-year-old appeared in just 12 LaLiga games in his debut season with Los Blancos, then-Madrid coach Zidane only selecting him to start on four of those occasions.
However, Ceballos was named in the line-up for Julen Lopetegui's first league game against Getafe on Sunday as Madrid recorded a 2-0 success.
While admitting his limited role in the team last term left him feeling low, Ceballos refrained from blaming Zidane.
FT: 2-0 ( 20', 51'). | August 19, 2018
"I have no complaints about Zidane, he made me more mature," he said in quotes published in Marca.
"It was difficult to gain confidence after a whole year of hardly playing.
"I have this chance based on my hard work. I'm very happy and I couldn't be prouder."
