Zidane concedes Real Madrid can't slip up against Leganes

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits they need a victory against Leganes.

Real meet the minnows on the back of a 3-3 draw at Champions League opponents Legia Warsaw.

Zidane said, “It's another different game, but it'll be tough. Leganés are a team who move very well away from home and know how to play. We have to have maximum concentration levels and take the game seriously. We want to play a good match and give everything to make sure we're pleased with the performance. Wednesday's match is over and we're only thinking about tomorrow's game. La Liga is our day-to-day work and I hope we play a good match tomorrow.

“I don't know why we've lost our defensive solidity. That's part of football, occasionally you come up against difficult times, but I'm not concerned about it. I don't like conceding goals and the players even less so. It's a question for everyone and we can all improve. We must look, particularly myself, to play with calmness and make sure tomorrow, in our next match, that they don't score against us."
