Zidane: Madrid Are Having A Bad Moment
Zinedine Zidane is convinced Real Madrid are having a bad
moment, after losing to Celta Vigo to rack up back-to-back defeats.
Iago Aspas opened the scoring, before a Marcelo equaliser
was rendered useless by a Jonny goal. The match ended 2-1 with Celta Vigo
having the advantage in the first leg of the Copa del Rey.
Sevilla ended Madrid’s unbeaten run of 40 games before
losing the game against Celta Vigo. Zidane accepts all is not as it should be
with the La Liga leaders.
“We played a strange game,” he told reporters after a third
consecutive game without victory. It is a bad moment, we will not hide this.
Two games [lost] in a row, something is happening.
“We must analyse things, look at it now and see what we can
do to rapidly change this run. We were playing against very good rival who made
it difficult for us. We did not know how to manage properly the game.
“We know what we must do there, there are 90 minutes or
maybe more left in the tie. We must play differently, return to playing as we
can.”
Zidane’s men will seek to arrest their mini-slide at home to
Malaga this weekend and the former France star wants to see greater intensity
in their performance.
“It is good for us to have another game on Saturday.
Football is like that, it’s a bad moment, but we will come out of it all
together,” he said.
“We did not play as we had prepared for the game, the
intensity was not good at the start.
“We played well at Sevilla, today a bit worse, but there is
no reason to be worried.
“We are fine physically, but maybe in the head the La Liga
[defeat] was tough.
“The squad is annoyed at the defeats, but we must be more
intense, more energetic, and that will bring us out of this disappointment.”
