The Real Madrid shameful loss versus Alcoyano of some days ago showed two players understimating the situation and disrespecting him, and Zinedine Zidane is angered.

Zinedine Zidane is desperate. Real Madrid was knocked out of two competition in a week. First they lost the Spanish Supercup semifinal versus Athletic Club, and then followed a loss to Alcoyano, a third division team. This one was for Copa del Rey, the only competition that Zizou never won as a coach.

The Alcoyano loss was the most painful. And he noticed later, with the replays, something that annoyed him a lot. It came from two players that have been rumoured to leave the club soon because they are not playing frequently, and what Zidane saw gave him the impression that they do not care a lot anymore.

The cameras of El Chiringuito caught Isco and Marcelo giggling while the boss was giving instructions before the extra time, where Real Madrid conceded and ended up losing 2-1. In the winning goal for Alcoyano, Marcelo was the one who lost the marking of his assigned opponent. 

According to the journalists of that TV show, Zizou is highly upset with them and might as well concede their wishes of leaving the club to somewhere they could play more regularly as starters. This defeat was a disaster for Zidane and he will not tolerate this kind of attitude of his players.
