Real Madrid boss Zidane: Victory over Eibar expected

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane knows three points are expected against Eibar today.

Real dropped two points at Las Palmas last week.

“We're playing at home, we know the situation we're in and we'll have to make sure we start the game strongly. It will be difficult because our opponents will want to get something from the game. I'm only interested in what we're going to do. Our idea is to get back to winning ways and do all we can to win the match, from the 1st until the 90th minute," said Zidane.

“Our possession dropped in the match against Dortmund. It's always our intention to keep the ball. With the players we've got, we've got to retain possession, but that's not a guarantee of victory. What we want to do is win the game, create chances and be more efficient. Perhaps we've lacked the winning goal in recent games. We've got to turn things around and we're working on that."
