Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro has insisted that the club's hunger and desire to win has not gone, while making it clear that they are working hard to continue their success.
On Wednesday night, Los Blancos were beaten 1-0 by Leganes at Butarque but still qualified for the quarter-final stage of the Copa del Rey thanks a 3-0 first leg victory.
"We lost but we have qualified and that's what we wanted," he told beIN LaLiga afterwards.
"In the first half, we lacked depth but in the second, we were better.
"We controlled the game well.
"It was a good defeat because we still qualified and we know that there is no such thing as an easy game.
"Are we tired of winning?
"It is funny for me to hear you say that because we always play to win.
"We have to be honest; we're working hard, we're in the Champions League, a little further back in LaLiga, and now in the quarter-final of the Copa."
However, the Brazilian did acknowledge that things could and should be better and that Madrid are not at their best at present.
"We know it is a bad moment [for the club]," he added.
"Everyone knows that we have to improve because we're working to win titles.
"With work, we'll always get something so we will continue working hard and remain silent; in the end, we will see what happens."

Well there maybe truth to it, after all the success they had for the past five years maybe their hunger has diminished (not completely gone) because its vetmry funny how things are going although the change of three coaches in one season might have affected their form too and also sale of cr7 without getting another striker contributes too but whatever it is, we should get a striker maybe Icardi or Werner and also Hazard too and we are good to go Hala Madrid

Casemiro: Tired of winning? It is funny that you say that we are working hard Me: 💔😥 Thats true Casemiro we are working hard and we must keep on working because I know Its hasnt been easy for Real Madrid after CR7 is left! Because the team was built around him and now we have no one who could step up to be the main superstar but I hope we could sign Mauro icardi because he is a player who has a cocky attitude and he can back it up and thats who we need at the moment! so Real Madrid and the Los Blancos soldiers stay strong and as always HALA MADRID

This season is the worst I've ever seen Madrid perform, They have been very close and even above Barca for years but their performance level have been dropping for the last couple of seasons, It think Zidane and Ronaldo realized this so they jumped ship, what do you think?
