The head coach of Madrid's "Real" Zinedine Zidane, after his unexpected withdrawal from the King's Cup tournament, stated that the team played a good game, but they lacked luck. In the return leg of the King's Cup quarterfinals, "Real" away after a 1-2 defeat attempted to come back against Vigo "Celta". The "White" team played a draw at 2-2, but missed one goal to reach the semifinals. The royal club played more actively throughout the match and created many chances, but "Celta" took advantage of the space left by the visitors in their half. "We had an excellent first 35 minutes. Later it was a bit harder, but we played until the end and really didn't perform poorly. Today I can only congratulate my team, which played a great game. When you play badly and don't achieve a positive result, you can only blame yourself, but today we didn't play badly and did what we could", said Z. Zidane. "Although we played quite well, we withdrew from the tournament and I am disappointed. It's a shame that the game was going well and we still can't make it to the next stage. We didn't give up until the end of the match, but our efforts were not enough and we have to accept that. The only good news can be that we won't have to play so many matches per week anymore. We will try to focus on "La Liga" and the Champions League", concluded the strategist. Coming weekend in the Spanish league Z. Zidane faces another serious challenge - a match against San Sebastiano's "Real Sociedad".
