Football: Solari says Madrid can repair mistakes after Eibar's shock

MADRID (Reuters) – Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari has said his team could fix his problems after a 3-0 humiliation at Eibar on Saturday in La Liga.

Argentina has won four matches as an interim coach, but suffered a painful defeat at Ipurua in its first match since taking a permanent charge this month.

Gonzalo Escalante, Sergi Enrich and Kike Garcia sowed misery in Madrid, sixth, in an anemic demonstration in the Basque Country.

"This is a difficult result we were not expecting and we need to work on improving and adjusting some things we did not do well, but they are correct," Solari told a news conference.

"We were not good and it's our fault, we have to work to correct the mistakes. They were good, they liked it and we have to congratulate Eibar. "

The defense of Madrid was fragile and without the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the blows would have been harder for the champion of Europe.

"We will try to leave fewer goals and get more points, that's our job and we've been doing it since the last few games.

"I do not know (if it was the worst performance of the season) but the worst of the last five games, of course."

It was Eibar's first win against Madrid and striker Enrich was delighted with this triumph.

"Real Madrid have lost few games against opponents like us," Enrich said.

"We lobbied, we did not let the ball out. For this club, so small, this city, this incredible atmosphere, we have been looking for this victory for years.

"We won all the battles, the second balls. We are what we are. We knew that if we played our game, we would have the chance to win. "
