Real Madrid's plan: Zidane, Champions and "tranquility"

" It is likely that this summer signings are needed, there are changes, even with the coach ...". He who utters these words is nothing less than Zinedine Zidane , at a press conference minutes after falling against Atletico (0-1) last Saturday.

It's the afternoon Saturday and Real Madrid looks like a real colossus in flames , no fire line with kilometers around.

What will happen to the future composition of the workforce? "Tranquility". What about the claims of the public to the Directive? "Tranquility". What could happen in the team following statements by Cristiano Ronaldo ? "Tranquility".

Bad weather, good face, they say. Given the inclement strong, confident that everything will end fixing and the sun will shine. Even this season. Nobody hides and Real Madrid that the League is virtually impossible -the first, the technician himself, but the dream is still alive Eleventh. And there blind confidence that the team will trace the flight and will improve compared to that seen so far. Starting this Wednesday against Levante, and continuing for the tie against Roma within a week pending certification. Those are the greatest obsessions and urgencies in Concha Espina, today. Above all else, tranquility.
