Real Madrid hero Michel Salgado has urged fans to stand by coach Zinedine Zidane.
Salgado says Zidane deserves the chance to rebuild his squad for what he has achieved in the past.
He told Omnisport: "There will always be criticism of Real Madrid. It is a huge club that depends mainly on wins and where there is a lot of pressure. Zidane deserves all our respect, he has won three Champions Leagues in a row. It was something that nobody had managed to do in history and then he returned to Madrid at a time when the club was in big trouble.
"The season has just started and they are already in first position. We have to let them work. I know Real Madrid, I stayed there for 11 years. I know how it works internally and it's important that the manager and the players stay calm in such moments. Zidane deserves the trust of the fans. I think he's doing a really good job."
