Last week, the best strategist award-winning Zinedine Zidane fell into the first serious crisis while leading the Madrid "Real" club. The "White" team unexpectedly lost 1-2 to "Girona" in an away match in the Spanish "La Liga" championship yesterday. Isco had taken the guests ahead, but in the second half defensive mistakes "killed" the visitors. "We were not focused enough when 'Girona' scored the first goal. The second goal fell for exactly the same reason. Football consists of details, and today we simply were not concentrated enough," - said Z. Zidane after the defeat. "We played really well in the first half, but the second half was awful. I don't think the players lost intensity. We defended well, but in the most important moments, we were not focused enough. After four consecutive wins, I certainly did not expect such a game. But we are still motivated and will continue the fight for the championship title. We need to analyze what we did wrong and start preparing for the Champions League," - concluded Z. Zidane. Z. Zidane needs to seriously think about his team's performance - they are already eight points behind "Barca", and their main attacking duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have scored only two goals together in the league this season.
