Schuster: I Was Waiting For More Goals

Thursday, 18 September 08, 07:20 PM

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster was pleased to see his side wrap up all three points against BATE Borisov in the Champions League opener, but he was disappointed not to have seen more goals.

Real Madrid controlled the contest against BATE literally from whistle to whistle and racked up some 20 shots at the opposition goal in total but only registered a 2-0 win.

While the three points never really looked in danger, Los Blanco were unable to secure a bigger margin of victory. And coach, Schuster was a little disappointed not to have witnessed a goal feast at the Bernabéu, especially in the first half.

“After taking a 1-0 lead and seeing that our rivals could not respond, I believe we slowed down a little,” he analysed during the post-match conference.

“That is always dangerous because any silly mistakes and things could have been very complicated for us. Perhaps a second or third goal was needed.

“But the win is good. It is something that we needed today, although we should have scored more goals. I was waiting for more in the first half,” he added, before going on to joke that he has not been angry at all today.

The German then concluded by saying that he is not at all worried by Guti and Rafa van der Vaart’s lack of understanding on the pitch, while he also praised Gonzalo Higuaín for his excellent start to the season.

Sergio Ramos Doubtful For BATE Date

Tuesday, 16 September 08, 09:45 AM

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos skipped the team’s Monday training session due to an injury and he has been deemed as a doubt for Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

Sergio Ramos was in the centre of controversy at the weekend when he was omitted from Real Madrid’s squad to take on Numancia.

His coach, Bernd Schuster revealed that it was because the 22 year old had picked up a groin strain while on international duty in midweek, although the Spanish Football Federation refuted those claims, saying that he left the national team camp in good health.

But whatever the case, the versatile defender was absent in Los Blancos’ Monday training session. He was not even present at the gym, where the first team players who were involved in the 4-3 win over Numancia on Sunday gathered to undergo a recovery session.

As of now, Sergio Ramos has been rated as a serious doubt for Madrid’s midweek Champions League clash against Belarussian outfit, BATE Borisov. But the team’s training schedule today (Tuesday) will give a better indication of his condition and availability.
