Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos believes that it would be crazy to sack manager Julen Lopetegui despite the team suffering their third defeat in four games and having not scored in any of them.
Last season's Champions League winners are on a dismal run, having lost to Deportivo Alaves on Saturday night, but are still joint top of the table along with Barcelona. Ramos has insisted that sacking Lopetegui despite being at the top of the table would be a crazy move and should be avoided.
"Other people take decisions like that, but it's never good when there is a change in coach. It would be crazy," 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 [the players] 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."
Madrid will want to get back to winning ways, especially considering Barcelona play their game on Sunday and could yet take a three point lead over them before going into the international break.
