The German international claimed that a bad start to the new season’s campaign does not determine anything since there is still a long way to go.
Real Madrid’s Mesut Ozil has expressed that the start of the league campaign cannot project the final standing of the league table.
The attacking midfielder’s claims have come in wake of his side’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in their second La Liga fixture.
Los Blancos locked horns with their fellow La Liga outfit over the weekend but to the dismay of the Blancos faithful, the Whites were humbled in the derby meeting.
In addition to the most recent defeat, Los Merengues were also held to a 1-1 draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in their opening match of the Spanish La Liga.
Results against Valencia and Getafe have been shocking to say the least for Madridista faithful along with audiences all over the world, since many had predicted the Santiago Bernabeu outfit to emerge victorious from the domestic encounter.
Los Vikingos finished the 2011/12 Primera Division season with 32 victories out of a possible 38 and were expected to continue on the tremendous form. Nevertheless, start of the new term has not planned out as they would have expected.
As it stands, with two matches into the 2012/13 La Liga campaign, Madrid are already 5 points behind their traditional rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
The German international took out time to reflect on the situation Real Madrid find themselves in, overlooking their recent form with his eyes set at the big picture.
Ozil was adamant that a bad start to the season does not rule out his side’s chances to reclaim their title, stating that it is too early to predict the outcome of the championship.
"It is clear that Real Madrid are aiming high and always want the best. However, you do not win titles at the start of the season. We have not found our best form yet as a team, but nothing is lost just yet. We have to make sure we get back on track as soon as possible now.”
"We have had a bit of bad luck. We don't score enough goals. These things happen in football, though."
Real Madrid are set to play the second leg of the Supercopa de Espana against Barcelona in mid-week. The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu.
