Real Madrid couldn’t beat the Polish champions on Wednesday in a game played behind closed doors. Los Blancos had really low intensity and they almost lost with a team with lower quality. The supporters, the players and the coach weren’t happy after this poor performance.

Zidane assumed his errors in the line up and in the strategy: “We lack a bit of everything, intensity, especially when you score two goals. It can happen that they put you in difficulties and that you receive goals. I’m the responsible of everything. At the end we didn’t lose and this is good, but the feeling strange”.

Obviously, the French coach wasn’t happy with the performance: “It was a difficult match. When you score two goals away, normally you have the control. At the end we put the rival in the game. When we conceded the first goal, it was complicated. We had a lack of everything: intensity, movements, motivation. Sometimes it can happen. The good thing is that we didn’t lose the game”.

Zidane chose to start with four strikers: Morata, Benzema, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. The French coach was asked about this formation: “We were looking to win the match. It was more a 4-4-2 rather than 4-2-4. I wanted to play with two strikers, like in the preseason. It’s a formation we know, and it went well in the first half. After it’s been a bit complicated”.

The French manager also put a defense with three players at the end of the game, when he changed Coentrao for Asensio: “Yes, I’m happy. The idea was playing with three players in defense with the help of the midfielders. We were looking to win the match. But we finally got the draw. Sometimes you have to look for solutions”.

It was a strange game for the result and because they had to play behind close doors: “Probably, it has affected us, but it’s not an excuse. We knew it before the game. It’s been a bit strange. We are not going to change this. We knew that there were not going to be public, we needed to focus. We did it at the beginning but not in the whole game”.
