Intro
Former Brazil and Real Madrid midfield maestro, Kaka has said the club can overcome their poor start to the season and deliver a major trophy at the end of the season.
Madrid have won just two of their opening five competitive matches of 2019-20.
Draws against Real Valladolid and Villarreal in the Primera Division and a 3-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this week have left coach Zinedine Zidane’s position under threat.
However, Kaka who won a domestic league title with Madrid in 2011-12 and the Copa del Rey a season earlier, noted the expectation around Santiago Bernabeu.
He told Omnisport: “For Real Madrid, we always have to win something.
“This is the pressure for Zidane – he needs to win something. La Liga or the Champions League. These are the two championships that are the most important for the supporters and the club.
“Of course, he knows that. I think Real Madrid has a very good team, very good players and an unbelievable coach.
“Real Madrid is ready to win something this season again.”
Madrid’s €100 million close-season signing Eden Hazard came in for criticism after a disappointing performance at Parc des Princes, where Zidane substituted him after 70 minutes.
