Real Madrid players assure Luxemburgo of their support

Real Madrid's players have assured coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo they are fully behind him.

Before Thursday morning's training session, the players took it upon themselves to approach Luxe and offer him their support. Some players even stepped up to hug the Brazilian as he was made aware of their 100 per cent support for his coaching.

"The players explained to the coach that they're all in the same boat," said a Real source. "And the pressure from the Madrid public should be shared by everyone equally."
