Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane was late for training and press conference on Tuesday after holding a crucial team talk with players and staff and the former France international came out to lash at critics who have written the team off.
The Spanish and European champions’ stuttering season saw them stumble again in LaLiga’s title race on Sunday, when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo.
With leaders Barcelona now 16 points ahead of Los Blancos in the table and a daunting Champions League last-16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain to come, pressure on Zidane’s position has been mounting despite his success during his two years in charge.
Zidane, however, insists his side will get back on track with collective hard work and is adamant there are reasons to be positive for the rest of the season.
“I’m not going to tell you what we talked about. These are discussions that happen in a team,” he said.
“You can analyse it as you like, that it’s a moment of crisis or not, but we’re here to find solutions.
“I’m not going to go into the details. When there are things like we’re going through, where things aren’t going as we want, it’s about work. I always believe in that.”
