Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that his team were below par despite defeating FC Zurich 1-0 yesterday.
Speaking directly after the game, Pellegrini said: "We are concerned because it is not the game we want to play. This is not the more technical game I like. But on the other hand, we are very secure defensively. We lack creativity, greater mobility and a bit of luck. We had opportunities and did not put them away,"
"It is very likely that we have excessive anxiety, pressure, criticism and a lack of performance in some aspects. It is a credit that the team is where it is. We did not play badly, but weren't entertaining."
