Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane refused to justify his team’s sudden loss to Cádiz.
Cádiz achieved a historic victory over Real Madrid with an unanswered goal at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, on matchday six of the Spanish League.
Zidane said after the game: “There are no justifications for the level we present, we presented a bad game, especially at the beginning, we did not enter with the necessary physical intensity, and that cost us a lot from start to finish. If they had scored two goals , the first three in the first part, we would not have said anything “.
And he added: “They had two or three chances to kill the game, and today we did not have a good day, there are no excuses, there is nothing to say, it is a bad game, now we have to see what we can do to change that, we are missing many things”.
He stressed: “We were bad, without a high level, and when you lack coordination in a La Liga game it complicates the situation. Then they appeared in a higher order and with more enthusiasm. There are no excuses, sometimes there are moments like this during the season and we have to accept them. Now we think about the next game. ” Physically, we were exhausted. “
He continued: “We realize our situation, we know that we play every 3 days, and this cost us a lot today, yesterday I talked about the players not stopping playing games, and this cost us physically. We were better in the second half and we created opportunities, the game could be changed, but this is what happened in the end. “
He continued: “We have a great list of players. The changes in the second half were our desire to change things, not to hold two or three players responsible, we are all in the same boat. When things go well, we are all happy, and when we don’t win, we all feel sad. “
The game saw Sergio Ramos injured between the break after a knee pain: “He feels discomfort in his knee. We will see how serious the injury is. He said it hurts, and as always we prefer not to take risks. I hope it is a minor injury and that I can play “.
He stressed: There are no justifications for what happened, we are not happy, but this happens in football. We did not get into the game well and that cost us dearly. It was a difficult game from the beginning, in the second half we improved ”.
Was it the worst game of your coaching career? Zizou replied: “No, we lost 3 points, of course they are important points, especially since they are in our stadium, but nothing else. Now we have to think about the next match.”
He admitted: “What worries me the most is the way we entered the game. This cost us a lot today.”
Will the defeat affect the team? Zidane replied: “No, because we will think about the next game. We have to rest well and try to improve. Today has been bad for all the players and the fans, and we will try to change that in the next game.”
The match saw Zidane make 4 changes at a time between the halves of the match while the team was late.
