Van Der Vaart - Two Wins And It's All Good!

Real Madrid might be being described as in crisis at the moment, but according to midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart all they need to do is win their next two games.

The Dutchman was talking to AS when he lent his support to coach Bernd Schuster and said that if they win twice everything will be perfect.

"The logical thing is that people get angry about losing games but I do not think that the situation is the fault of the coach. If we win our two next games everything will be perfect again," he declared.

The words from Van der Vaart might be described as either brave or foolish, bearing in mind the seemingly underlying problems at the club, but there is no doubt they do need to win. Up next for the defending La Liga champions are Recreativo Huelva this weekend and then they travel to Getafe at the end of the month.

Speaking about his own personal happiness Van der Vaart said that he is sure he made the right decision to join, and being subbed off is part and parcel of being at a large club.

"It is normal that at a club like Madrid one must spend minutes on the bench," he mused.

"I do not ever assume a substitution though and I work to play. I know I did the correct thing this summer when I decided to join this club and play in this league."
