DBasia.news –  Real Madrid got a defeat not too long after Santiago Solari was appointed as the permanent coach. Madrid got defeated 0-3 from Eibar at Ipurua, Saturday (24/11) by three goals from Gonzalo Escalante, Sergi Enrich, and Kike. Solari mentioned it as Madrid’s worst match.

“I don’t know if it is the worst game of the season but it is the worst of the last five. We came from four wins and we wanted to win, but I think there is a solution,” Solari told Sport-English.

“We want to let in less goals and score more. That’s the work of the coach and we have been doing it in the last few weeks.”

The Argentinian coach won’t blame any individual for the defeat. Moreover, he won’t scapegoat Dani Ceballos who considered playing bad and couldn’t lift Madrid performance. Madrid’s failure was a collective defeat.

“We were not good, that’s on us, and we have to work to correct it. They were very good, they had a great game and it all went for them. We have to congratulate them,” said Solari.

“That we didn’t find a way to bring the ball out is not Dani Ceballos’s fault. It’s Eibar’s merit and after that, it’s a collective job, not one footballer alone,” he described.
