After the disappointing draw against Villareal, Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane sent a stern warning to the media.

Zinedine Zidane lashed out at critics after Real Madrid’s draw with Villareal in La Liga on Saturday. He told the media reporters that his job will continue to move ahead no matter the circumstances. Los Blancos opened up the game in formidable fashion with Mariano Diaz’s header in the second minute. However, Gerard Moreno leveled things up from a penalty-kick in the second half. And Zidane’s men had to settle for just one point, which could have been a triumph otherwise.

This leaves the current Spanish kings fourth on the table with just five wins from their first nine fixtures. Moreover, if league leaders Real Sociedad win against Cadiz on Sunday, Madrid will lag six points behind them. And Zidane seemed to be stressed regarding the situation of the club at the moment. In the post-match interview, the Frenchman snapped at the media reporters.

“I have the same hopes as always and that won’t change,” he fired when asked about Madrid’s growing number of critics. 

“Don’t you guys worry. Carry on with what you are doing and I will keep working.

“[The draw] is disappointing. We deserved a lot more today for the game we played. I was annoyed because of the effort the boys put in. 

“Mariano’s thing (the forward was taken off after scoring Madrid’s solitary goal), he has been a long time out, he was exhausted.

“We dropped two points today, clearly.”
