Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has admitted that he does not have \u201ca Plan A or Plan B\u201d for when his team selection fails to produce results.<\/p>\n

Zidane returned to the Santiago Bernabeu this year, after leaving in May 2018.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman has failed to rediscover his finest form in LaLiga since, although Madrid currently sit only a point off league leaders and rivals Barcelona in second.<\/p>\n

Questions have been asked about his squad rotations too, but ahead of Saturday\u2019s clash with Real Betis, Zidane stated that he does not appreciate the idea that he has a set number of selections.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like being said to have a team A or a team B or C. It\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
