Zinedine Zidane speaks about his future at Real Madrid
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has admitted that his job is on the line after taking full responsibility for the side’s 2-1 loss against Leganes, resulting in their elimination from the Copa del Rey.
“After the first leg, we cannot play the first half we did here. In the end the result is logical, as the opponent played their game, and we did not. I am responsible for this, it is a failure for me today. I am very disappointed, and will take responsibility of all this”, Zidane admitted.

“I am angry with myself, not with my players,” he said. “My players tried, ran, maybe they played badly, they have part of the blame, but I am the most responsible. You cannot explain our first half tonight.
“That each player might not be at their usual level, that is football, sometimes you are up, sometimes things do not go for you. The players tried, the second half we were better, made chances to score, did not take them”.
With the Champions League last 16 clash against Paris Saint Germain round the corner, the pressure is well and truly mounting on Zidane.
