After a very painful defeat in the principled "El Clasico" duel, Madrid's "Real" coach Zinedine Zidane had to admit the painful truth once again - the "white" team lacks fresh forces in attack.
In yesterday's match, "Barcelona" shocked the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium - scoring three goals in the second half and achieving victory with a score of 3-0. After this defeat, the "whites" almost gave up on defending the champion's title - "Barca" gained a 14-point advantage over their rivals.
Z. Zidane said after the match that this loss is very painful both for him and the whole team. According to the strategist, the team did not deserve such a failure, although he acknowledged that not everything went well in this match.
"The painful thing is that we lost by not playing so badly," - said the Frenchman after the match. - In football, everything changes so quickly. People said that "Barcelona" was not good when preparing for this season, and now we will be "crossed out" by everyone on Sunday."
"But that's football and we have to accept it. When you win - everything is just wonderful, when you lose - everything is messed up. We are disappointed because it's a very painful loss. But as I said many times, we will not give up until the end.
Now we have a week to relax and forget everything that has happened so far. I believe that after a week we will come back stronger than ever. "Real" is the club that never gives up, no matter what the situation is," - added Z. Zidane, who won almost all possible titles in 2017.
The next match of the Madrid team will take place on January 4th, when the first King's Cup quarter-final match against "Numancia" will be played.
