Main coach Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane summed up the results of the 1/16 final of the Spanish Cup with Alcoyano (1:2).
“We tried to win, the guys gave their all on the field. We had chances to score, and when it fails, what happened to us can happen. This is a difficult situation, we were eliminated from the Spanish Cup, but the players tried hard.
I take responsibility. The players were striving to win, and if we had scored the second goal, then everything would have turned out differently. But this is football. Their goalkeeper made 2-3 saves. But the responsibility is mine. We took off.
We have to win against teams from such leagues. But what happened is not a shame, it happens – and now it happened to us. We will continue to work, we will not go crazy over this.
Apart from the recent matches, we have achieved good results this season. Now you should focus on what is within reach.
I am calm. Players want to win, sometimes they don’t. We have to accept it, ”Zidane said.
