Zinedine Zidane rejects ‘embarrassment’ claims after Real Madrid shocked by Alcoyano

“It’s a difficult moment because we’re out of the Cup, we needed to do more than we did today but at least we tried everything.”

The Alcoyano defeat followed last week’s Super Cup semi-final loss to Athletic Bilbao and Real have only won once in their last five matches in all competitions.

Zidane was asked if he feared for his position as coach due to the team’s slide in form.

“When you lose people always talk about that but I take responsibility and whatever will be will be. I’m very relaxed, our players want to win every game, they always try to but sometimes something else happens. You have to deal with it,” he said.

“We’ve been playing well, a little bit less recently, but apart from the last couple of games we’ve done things well this season and we need to remember what we’re capable of.”
