Zinedine Zidane: Real Madrid "cannot continue like this"

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane plays down talk of a "crisis" at the Bernabeu after seeing his side draw for the fourth game in a row.

Zinedine Zidane has denied that Real Madrid are in the midst of a "crisis" but admits that his side must improve their performance levels if they are to return to winning ways.

Los Blancos were held to a 1-1 draw by Eibar at the Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon - a fourth draw in succession in all competitions and a third in La Liga.

Madrid, who lost Karim Benzema and Raphael Varane to injury during the match, hit back 17 minutes in after falling behind to Fran Rico's early opener in the Spanish capital.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Zidane said: "I am responsible as the coach of this team, I must look for solutions. We must change this. This is not a crisis, we are only in October. We cannot go crazy.

"But something is wrong for sure; three draws in a row in La Liga. We will analyse things again and when they come back from the international break we must change. We cannot continue like this.

"We did not play in the first half; Eibar did play. The second half was much better, which is something we've been saying too much recently. I believe in hard work and the quality of this team. If we put in hard enough work then the quality shows."

Madrid, who have now been held by Villarreal, Las Palmas, Borussia Dortmund and Eibar in recent weeks, return to action on October 15 with a trip to face Real Betis.
