Salgado defends Real Madrid coach Queiroz

Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz has been backed by his players after two defeats in a week.

The Copa del Rey shock against Real Zaragoza was followed by defeat at Athletic Bilbao and has again heaped pressure on Queiroz.

But Salgado insists the trainer has the full support of the players: "Queiroz is not going to feel isolated because he has all our support. The fault lies with us as much as him. The group must now be with our trainer, although he has made comments at an unfortunate moment."

"We are united in the dressing room and it is the moment of not speaking, just working."
