Courtois is left without defense
Since it was said in the preview, the group stage of the Champions league must meet a litany of bad results to that of a candidate for the title is left without getting in the crosses, but it is also said that this is not mathematics. If one gets carried away, if sestea thinking that the inertia of the competition will get in the second round, the danger is latent, and there is already Real Madrid: finished the first two days, the first third of this initial phase, the targets add up to a point of six, the worst start to the Champions League since its introduction in the summer of 1992.
The data is as cold as alarming. The Madrid has been left without a wildcard at the first change. With PSG distanced, six out of six after beating yesterday at the Galatasaray , the Zidane should focus on the second place, that now occupies the Witches, with two points, one above the turks and the whites. Looming a double clash against Galatasaray with scent-final, although the fall just remove your first sheet from the calendar: “it Is now in football there are no small teams. In the Champions league everybody can win everybody. Just look at the latest editions. If one does not start well the game can be very complicated. This is modern football and the classification of our group is the one that is. We lost two points in the first half and won another in the second. We know that the situation is not the best,” said Zidane.
the frenchman was The mirror of his Madrid bipolar . Stick through the first act, and carrot to the outcome: “we Made a bad first time, we went wrong in the match, we do not control the game, they put us in difficulty, with the first goal, they came up because they had nothing to lose and we did the second. The two goals we have conceded are from laughter. I prefer to stay with the second part. Totally different and with a different attitude. I told the rest that if we don’t change we were not going to win the match. I was left with the reaction of heart and surrender because they have been they have changed the match with a good second half.”
Zidane does not think his team quit on the field in the Champions league without taking seriously the parties nor the rival, but, not to mention the much-vaunted word intensity, left a message between the lines: “I’m Not worried, but it is true that we need to be more successful when you tap scoring the first goal. In our field we go for the match from minute 1. If we get pressure like we did in the second part, the contrary does not exist.”
Ramos, blunt
The self-criticism also made him the captain, Sergio Ramos , with a message on his Twitter account in which he recognized the errors committed, but also threw an encouraging message: “A first part bad, second part with the courage and the dedication that is expected of us. We have to do more, we have to do better. As well of course.”
More benevolent in his summary was Casemiro , in another good match from the brazilian plugging the many holes that made his teammates and scoring the decisive tie of two: “you have to have respect for the opponent, but we have reacted well and the draw has given us a lot of life to the rest of the matches. Within the evil that we have done in the first part, the party went well”, explained the brazilian, who sees the danger to the pass to the second round: “Still rely on us. When the match was 0-2, we had to hurry and just equivocándote. Within the bad, the tie, thinking about the rating… we depend on us.” Lesser evil for a Madrid bipolar.
