Real Madrid Have Problems, This Is Zinedine Zidane’s Comment

DBasia.news – Real Madrid this season has had two main problems this season: It’s hard to score goals and it’s too easy to concede. Zinedine Zidane knows this condition very well and insists that both of them are very important for Los Blancos.

Madrid have clearly struggled to achieve consistency this season. They can perform well and win against teams like Barcelona and Inter Milan, but then lose to teams like Cadiz or Shakhtar Donestk.

Los Blancos can dominate and create chances, but the problem is they can’t score. Then in one opponent’s counter-attack, Madrid conceded easily.

Zidane knows Madrid are required to appear impressive in every match. His team did that, it’s just difficult to score goals. Even so, for Zidane, keeping the goal clean and scoring goals are two things that are equally important.

“For us both are important. We always try not to concede, and stopping opponents from creating chances is very important,” Zidane said on RealMadrid’s official website.

“When your opponent can’t create chances it means you are playing well defensively and after that it is a matter of scoring chances.”

“We created a lot of opportunities in the previous match [vs Shakhtar Donestk]. Only the ball did not come in and later we have to think positively that the goal will come,” he added.

Furthermore, Zidane also emphasized that Madrid’s problem was not the choice of formation. He fielded the team based on the best strengths and to overcome the opponent’s threat. The choice of formation has nothing to do with Madrid conceding easily.

“It’s not a matter of formation either. When we don’t carry the ball we have to be more focused and in a defensive position,” continued Zidane.

“Whether using one formation or another, we know what we have to do when we are off the ball, and I don’t think it’s about us conceding too easily.”

“We have kept clean sheets in a lot of games and we will try to do it again later. The aim is not to concede and create opportunities to score goals,” he said.
