Emilio Butragueño, director of institutional relations at Real Madrid, appeared after the whites’ defeat against Milan, the second in a row after the loss against Barça. The manager acknowledged that “we are not in a great moment.”
“It is a bad result for us, it was a very important game because we were playing at home and we have to be solid, but they took advantage of their chances and we were not successful. It is a result that hurts, very adverse.”
“You have to be calm and be united”
Butragueño’s recipe to recover sensations is to “work very hard, be united and trust the players.” “We trust our players. It is true that we are not in a great moment. We have to recognize it. We have to be close to the players to find a solution,” he reflected.
Regarding Mbappé’s lack of goals, the manager said that it reassured him because in “every game he has chances. That’s a good sign. Although he doesn’t have that amount of luck that forwards need. Also against Barcelona. Sometimes these situations occur in football. The normal thing is that he scores again soon.” “We must be calm and united,” he concluded.
“It’s a moment the rivals are punishing us”
Real Madrid full-back Lucas Vázquez could not find an explanation for what is happening to his team, which suffered its second consecutive defeat, the third of the season, against Milan. Furthermore, in these two games (previously against Barça) they have conceded seven goals. A figure that Lucas Vázquez described as “very bad.”
“It was a complicated game, they took the lead, we tied quickly, and when we had the game under control they scored another one. And in a counterattack they give us the third,” said the full-back from A Coruña, who lamented that “the rivals are punishing us for a moment. We must continue working so that it does not happen again,” he defended.
Every game is going to be a final now because we want to win what we have left in this league.”
Regarding the seven goals conceded in the last two games, Vázquez pointed out that “it is a very bad number, defending and attacking is something collective. We have to emphasize this. We will get this together. You have to raise your head,” he claimed.
The whites’ situation is very complicated right now in the Champions League. “In the Champions League you play against the best. Every game is going to be a final now because we want to win what we have left in this league,” he concluded.
