Dani Carvajal has issued a staunch defense of Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and is convinced his team will turn their fortunes around.
The Spanish giants have had a very alarming start to the season, ranking fourth in La Liga and only adding four points from their first three Champions League games.
The scrutiny on Zidane got much worse over the weekend after Madrid’s heartbreaking 4-1 away loss to Valencia, leaving him four points behind pace at the top of La Liga.
But Carvajal, who has been out since the beginning of October due to a knee ligament injury, has ensured that everyone in the squad is behind Zidane to turn him around.
Carvajal told Marca: ‘We are to death with the coach, with the club, with the teammates that we have by our side and the coach’s philosophy is that we are all together, that we are all going in the same direction and he has done so for all years he has been here ”.
The Spanish right-back insisted that everything is magnified when a club the size of Madrid does not win.
And he added: ‘Those who have been here for a few years get used to it, in the end you can beat Inter in a highly contested match and lose to Valencia, against a good rival, away from home.
“We didn’t have our day, but sometimes you can’t win every game and it seems like we are in crisis. In the end you have to get used to these ups and downs, these ups and downs of feelings, criticism and praise ”.
Despite the slow start to the 2020-21 campaign, there is plenty of time for Madrid to get back on track and Carvajal is confident they will have a chance to win every title at the end of the season.
“We are Real Madrid, we have a very good squad and do not doubt us because we will fight for everything and in the month of March you will be happy because we will be alive in all competitions,” added Carvajal.
Madrid’s Carvajal’s emphatic defense comes after reports that Zidane is fighting to save his post after President Florentino Pérez “expressed doubts about the Frenchman.”
Sport recently reported that Perez has big concerns, while Marca said players were baffled by the selection of Zidane’s team in Valencia last weekend.
While Pérez is expected to give Zidane a little more time to change things, the Madrid hierarchy is not ashamed to pull the trigger when things don’t go their way, and the boss himself will be aware that things must change. quickly.
In the tough loss to Valencia, eyebrows were raised at Zidane’s starting eleven, without Ferland Mendy or Toni Kroos, and it was reported that the board and the playing squad were confused by this.
Marcelo and Isco started at Mestalla, and Marca wrote that the players lack confidence in Zidane’s decision-making.
Zidane, who has won three Champions Leagues and two La Liga titles during two stints as Madrid manager, will be desperate to prove his skeptics wrong after the international break.
Madrid will face Villarreal in La Liga on November 21, but will face a tough task against Unai Emery’s side, who are in second place in the standings.
