Real Madrid vs Eibar: Zidane, Ramos Speak After Los Blancos Close Gap On Barcelona

 

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane has admitted that his side struggled during the second half of their 3-1 victory over Eibar on Sunday evening.

AllNews reports that the La Liga title chasers scored all three of their goals in the opening 45 minutes before allowing their visitors back into the game after half time.

"I don't know, it's something completely different, but we have to adapt," Zidane said on the new conditions for football.

"We found it difficult in the second half.

"I don't know if it was the physical side, but we weren't on it.

"The first half was good and convincing.

"It's three important points.

"There are 10 games left."

Real Madrid is playing in the best way possible - Ramos

For captain, Sergio Ramos, Los Blancos need to keep improving to avoid more second halves like their one against Eibar.

Madrid weren't as effective going forward in the final stages of their triumph at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano and let Eibar back into the game. Although, they remain just two points off Barca.

"We did well and we worked hard to be in good shape," Ramos said.

"The team is returning to action and to playing in the best way possible.

"It's normal that we didn't have a complete match.
