Real Madrid players held a crisis meeting at their Valdebebas training ground today as Los Blancos digested Sunday night's surprise LaLiga defeat at home to Real Sociedad.
Ramos signalled need for team meeting after Sunday's defeat
Speaking after the 2-0 loss at the Bernabéu, Madrid captain Sergio Ramos had told reporters that the squad needed to have frank discussions
"We'll have a good talk face to face" in the wake of a poor start to 2019 that has so far yielded one point from a possible six in LaLiga.
According to the Spanish television channel La Sexta, the 25-minute meeting was led by senior figures Ramos, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, and saw Marcelo acknowledge in front of his team-mates that his recent performances have not been up to his usual standards.
Medical Report | Toni Kroos has been diagnosed with a grade 2 tear of the adductor muscle in his left leg and is expected to be out for two to three weeks.
With the inclusion of Brahim we put more competition amongst the already established core midfield we have right now. Hard to see him start when players like Ceballos or Isco find it difficult to start under Solari. The boy provided a lot of optimism in his press conference and has let the club know his intentions by stating that he will fight for every minute he can. This is the sort of mentality and positivity we require with our current state of affairs. Let’s hope he gets to shine in this second half of the season and proves his doubters wrong.
Marcelo has won everything in the 470 games he’s played during these 12 years. His record as a Real Madrid player consists of 20 titles: 4 Champions Leagues, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 4 LaLigas, 2 Copa del Reys, and 3 Spanish Super Cups.
COPE: The Spanish Referee Association admits error in not calling the penalty on Vinicius, even though they believe it is a more difficult call than it seems.
• Brahim is presented: “There was only 3 options when I decided to leave Coty: Madrid, Madrid, & Madrid.”
• Kroos joins the long list of injured players
• Ramos & Solari lead the team talk
