It’s a complicated situation: Vazquez

CAIRO - 11 January 2018: Real Madrid left the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with their heads hanging low after a 2-2 draw against Nomancia in the 16th round of the Copa del Rey. However, the white giants qualified to the quarter-finals as they beat Nomancia in the first leg 3-0.

Despite the poor display Real Madrid showed on Thursday, their winger Lucas Vázquez made the best of a bad situation and scored two goals for his team (2-2).

In his third season with the first team, Vazquez, a product of the youth team, has achieved his first double since returning to Real Madrid after his short loan to Espanyol in the 2014/2015 season.

"We have done a good job, although you are never happy at all when you do not win the matches, but it was a cup match and we managed to pass the tie, which was the goal," stated the winger to beINSPORT after the match.

As for the excessive number of goals the team is conceding, Lucas Vázquez admitted that it is "a complicated situation, we have to look at the mistakes, try to correct them and work so that they do not happen again."

The attacker refused to refer to the long talk that Zinedine Zidane had with his players in the pre-match meeting and took the opportunity to respond to all the criticisms.

"Now the important thing is to improve, work all more united than ever and take advantage of each game to continue showing that we are still the best," He said.

As for his two goals, Lucas Vázquez was "happy to have scored in front of our people, but now it's time to think about Saturday’s league game [against Villarreal at the Bernabéu].”
