Zudibinimhan, who joined the club in a bargain transfer this summer, started the season above his Spanish national teammate Halikani, and the 20-year-old midfielder made his La Liga debut in the early hours of Sunday morning (13th) with a spectacular volley to help Real Madrid beat Bilbao 2-0 away from home in a nail-biting victory. His performance was almost flawless, and he has been hailed as Real Madrid's best "No. 5" since Ballon d'Or winner Stam.

Although Real Madrid has lost its top scorer Benschmar, the attacking triangle of Rodrigo Gómez, Vinzios Zulia and Zudibinimhan has increased in power rather than decreased. Lodi Goss took the lead in the first half in just 28 minutes, followed by Zudibinenham, who took a corner kick and fired a smart overhead kick into the goal with great panache. He wore the No. 5 jersey, quite like the style of Schiedam back then. Real Madrid brought in Zudibiningham from Dortmund for 103 million euros (about HK$882 million) this summer, which can be said to be good value for money.

Zudibininham's outstanding performance was more than just scoring goals, he was equally good at intercepting in the midfield, winning 13 out of 16 confrontations, both offensively and defensively. After the match, he humbly said that he didn't do well in the moment of his starting touch, but luckily scored the goal, and the most important thing was that his team won the match.
