Schuster: The current Real Madrid team is limited in talent ... and Mendy is a surprise
Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster analyzed the performance of the players of the current football first team under coach Zinedine Zidane this season and after yesterday's draw against Real Sociedad.
Vinicius Junior succeeded in saving Real Madrid from losing at home, "Alfredo Di Stefano", after he was late in the score 1-0 until the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Schuster spoke about his opinion of Real Madrid during his interview with the Spanish radio station "Onda Thero", and said: "I think that Real Madrid was not worth losing, despite Real Sociedad's distinguished performance in the second half."
He added, "I do not think that either of them deserves to collect the three points in the match."
He continued:
"The current Real Madrid team is very limited in talent, because they cannot deal with the most organized competitors, even if there is Benzema or Ramos who still need a great effort to overcome this problem."
And he continued his remarks:
"Mendy's essential participation with Real Madrid this season is a surprise, because his defensive performance is less than last season. We see him more in the offensive aspects and he did not provide the performance expected of him in order to be essential to Marcelo, who was distinguished in the defensive aspects."
Courtois: We conceded the goals is a shame ... and we have to continue fighting against Atletico Madrid
Belgian international, Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper, has commented on his team's tie against Real Sociedad in the Spanish League.
Real Madrid fell into a positive draw with a goal to match against Sociedad, in the match that brought the two teams together yesterday evening at the "Alfredo Di Stefano" stadium, as part of the twenty-fifth round of the Spanish League matches.
"In the first half, we played well, and in the second half, we started the match badly," Courtois said in statements reported by the Spanish newspaper "AS".
He added,
"We scored the equalizer before the end, and there was no strength to score the second goal. At the beginning we did not meet, and the coach changed the way of playing, and then we got better."
He continued:
"We realize that we will lose points. We faced a very good team. It is a shame that we conceded a goal, because I thought we would win, now the derby will come, and we will try to win to continue to pressure the league leaders."
He continued: "Today we were not bad, we played well, we squandered goals, we have to continue fighting, and now we have to go to win against Atletico Madrid on Sunday."
He concluded his remarks, saying:
"We are only thinking about our next match, we want to win on Sunday in order to get closer to them."
