"Defenders of Madrid move alone"

Real Madrid faltered after starting the season with a win. Los Blancos needs to get rid of defense again.

Madrid started the season with a 3-1 win over Celta Vigo. But Zinedine Zidane's team is balanced in the following two matches: 1-1 against Real Valladolid and 2-2 against Villarreal.

Against Valladolid, Madrid scored in the 82nd minute but failed to defend it until conceded six minutes later. Meanwhile, facing Villarreal, Gareth Bale and the others are lagging twice.

Goals Gérard Moreno and Moi Gomez have answered Bale twice.

Former Madrid coach and coach Jorge Valdano said Zidane's defense sector needed to be improved. At present, the defenders of Los Merengues do not work as a whole, so they are easily penetrated.

"One of the problems in Madrid is defense, because everything goes according to their own wishes and it makes them lose their positions," Valdano said.

"When the match took place, the team looked disturbed and that's when everything was lost," added the man who won three Spanish league titles with Madrid as a player and coach.
