Zidane replies back at Real Madrid critics

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has hit out at the hysteria that has surrounded two consecutive defeats for the club, pointing out that the results have not made him a bad boss overnight.

Two reverses in the space of three days against Girona and Tottenham were greeted with consternation at the Santiago Bernabeu this week.

But while he is determined to arrest the slide, Zidane believes that some of the criticism he and his side have faced in the aftermath is unwarranted.

"These are things that I cannot avoid. I am not the best coach in the world, maybe, this season, I accept it," he fired to reporters.

"But neither am I the worst in the world right now. Whether it's euphoria or if things go badly, I am always in the middle. It also happened when I was playing.

"What my players and I are thinking at the moment is that we are the same people, we are not happy with the two games we lost but it does not change what we are trying to achieve."
