Real Madrid 'lacked everything' after 7-3 defeat against Atletico Madrid: Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane

Leeds [UK], July 27 (ANI): After Real Madrid faced an embarrassing 3-7 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the International Champions Cup on Saturday, manager Zinedine Zidane said that his team 'lacked everything'.
"What happened is that we entered the game very badly. A high-level competition, we entered very badly. At eight minutes we were down 2-0. There was no response from us to change something. The first part was difficult. We never entered the game. We have lacked everything. Especially intensity," Goal.com quoted Zidane as saying.
Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa scored four goals in the match and his club had a 5-0 lead after the conclusion of the first half.
"They scored seven goals, it can't happen. That is also known to the players, who are disappointed. You don't have to spin it over. It's a pre-season game. They've been better at everything. There is nothing more to talk about," he said.
"We are preparing a season and being calm. We have to be on August 17, with the first league game. For now, we have lacked things for sure tonight," Zidane added.
However, Zidane said they will be motivated and is certain of having a good season.
"We will be motivated. I have no doubt about that. Our season is going to be good. I am convinced. Today we cannot be happy. For the rest, I am convinced that I have a team that will compete and very well. That's it. We have to go back and get some rest," he said. (ANI)

India withdraw Smith protest as boards make peace in DRS row

India have withdrawn an official protest about the actions of Australia captain Steve Smith in the second test as the governing bodies of both countries moved to bring an end to the acrimony surrounding the ongoing four-match series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier registered a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over Smith looking to the dressing room for guidance on whether to review an lbw decision during the Bengaluru match. Despite the hosts winning the test to level the series at 1-1 on Tuesday, India skipper Virat Kohli alleged the tourists had indulged in the practice throughout the match, sparking a war of words in the media and a robust response from Australia. The boards released a joint statement on Friday saying the chief executives of both bodies had met in Mumbai on Thursday and agreed to try and bring the focus "back to the game" ahead of next week's third test in Ranchi. "India has always cherished a c...
