Sergio Ramos pleads for Lopetegui to not be saked

While he sacrificed his role as coach of the Spanish national team to become the main man at the Bernabeu, it seems as though that risk has not paid off for Julen Lopetegui.

'Los Blancos' have not won in four games in all competitions, shockingly losing to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in midweek before an even more surprising defeat to Alaves on Saturday.

Not only have the team not won any of those games, they have also not scored a single goal in that time, the longest run the team has gone without hitting the back of the net for a staggering 33 years.

Even though Real Madrid are known for dispensing of managers extremely ruthlessly, the club captain Sergio Ramos has dismissed suggestions that Lopetegui should be removed from his post less than four months after he was appointed.

"Other people take decisions like that but it's never good when there is a change in coach. It would be crazy." Sergio Ramos said.

"We have to move on, because the season is very long and there's a very long way to go. Whoever says Real Madrid are dead is always proved wrong in the long term.

"We are the first people that need to do more to improve and we're trying to do that. It's not fair to point the blame at anyone, we're all conscious of the reality

"Results are what people talk about and especially when you lose but we are still committed, we are still ambitious and we still want to win, it's in our DNA. We're on the right path despite the bad results."
