The coach of Real Madrid, Zindine Zidane, has acknowledged that they are going through a “delicate” moment, after three consecutive games without winning, but has stated that the Classic this Sunday before the FC Barcelona in the Santiago Bernabu (9:00 pm) offers you the “opportunity” to “change things”.
“It is a delicate moment. It is true that there are three games in which we do not win in our stadium. Those who know about football know that they are things that can happen to you. Our mood must be positive, because that is how we are going to get that out.” , declare at a press conference. “We have the morning opportunity to change the things and we will try, “he added.
In spite of everything, I appeal to not giving more importance to the Classic. “All the matches are the same. Maana there are three points at stake. We know that it is a different match than the others, but we are in our house and we will do our best to win the match,” he said. “After the game, there will be 12 games left,” he said.
In this sense, the French technician denied that there are nerves, and asked to “enjoy the moment” with “heart, head and unity.” “It's everyone's mood. We're going to play a very nice game and we have the opportunity to make a great game,” he said.
Zidane s explained that has asked the team to control the matches more so that the Wednesday event does not happen at the Bernabu, when Manchester City takes them back in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League. “We talked about it, we are going to try to make the reaction of continuing to do what we did for 78 minutes when we do something in the field,” he said.
“I have the strength to continue fighting with my players, who are the best. We are going to try to move that forward. It is a delicate moment, because we have five games without winning, but we are going to try,” he warned.
Nor was he excessively worried about the lack of team goal. “I'm not worried. For four months we won games, even without Eden -Hazard-. The most important thing is to have solidity, and then we know that we can score goals. I have to choose and that's it,” he said of his decisions in attack.
In another order of things, the importance of the absence of Toni Kroos in the defeat against the City. “When there is a bad result, you are looking for something. As Toni always plays, we did not lose because he was not there. They are things that can happen, others play the same way as Toni. We must not look for anything else. Toni is doing very well and he will continue to do it very well, “he said.
I also value the incidence of Leo Messi in the whole cul. “We know the importance of Messi in his team. It can be worse with him, sure, he is a fundamental player for them, but they are a team that does it well. We care about what we are going to do, we play against a very rival well, “he said.
On the other hand, Zidane asked for the love of Madrid fans on Sunday. “We need our people with us from minute 1 to 90. I can understand that our people are a bit upset, but we need it, and they need their team, “he said.
Finally, the Madrid coach did not want to talk about a possible club march if he does not win titles this season. “No, you have to ask another. I care to continue with what we are doing. In football, each competition will win one, and we will try, “he concluded.
