The defeat sparked turmoil in the exclusive club, which started with the infamous statement by Cristiano Ronaldo after the final whistle.
`I have full confidence in our players.`, said the specialist. `I believe that they all support me. Next year we may have to make changes, maybe even a coaching change. Whatever happens, however, we must continue to do our job.`, added the 43-year-old Frenchman.
`I`m not happy with the way the match mentioned by soccer predictions went against Atletico. No and how to be, if we lost. I didn`t like how we played. Right now it is more important to concentrate on the upcoming meetings. The title is not yet a lost cause, it just gets more difficult when you`re missing the points. We will not throw in the towel. It`s tough to lose to Atletico, especially at home, but we have no right to give up.`, added Zizou.
