Real Madrid ignored and almost lost, that is the excuse of Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane admitted that Real Madrid's game was very contrasting in the two rounds of matches against Levante, the fourth week of the 2019/20 League, Saturday (09/14/2019), evening. Los Blancos won 3-2 in public at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid's match seems to be unstable in the match. Obviously, Madrid won 3-0 in the first round, but conceded two goals in the second half - a defeat that could have been avoided.

Besides, victory almost lost at the end of the fight. Fortunately, Thibaut Courtois looked impressive and stopped the opponent's big chance in the 90th minute.

Seeing the shortcomings of his team, Zidane admitted that Madrid had lost concentration in the second half.


Failed to focus

For Zidane, this victory came thanks to their good performances in the first round. Madrid looked almost perfect with a burning desire to score a lot of goals, but the situation changed early in the second period.

"We managed to get three points after an outstanding first-half performance, rich in goals, football and passion," Zidane told Realmadrid.com.

"We experienced more problems in the second half - when opponents score quick goals, there is little change."

"We have to concentrate on playing like we did in the first half for 90 minutes, which will be good for us," he added.


Hurricane injury

In addition, Zidane also talked about nightmares in the second round. He acknowledged that his team's play was not optimal because the conditions of the players were not really optimal.

"In the second half, we had a few chances to score but we just could not regain our physical strength, I did not try to find excuses, but it is true that many of our players were forced to stop and that many others did not get enough rest," continued Zidane . .

"Casemiro cannot continue the match, Sergio Ramos has calf problems, James and Hazard have just had four training sessions with the team."


Like the first round

Therefore, for Zidane, Madrid's first half is a measure of the team's current strength. They should try to apply the game also in the next fight.

"We will focus on the first half and go step by step, and all we have to do is play like the first round is longer," said ZIdane.
