Former Brazil star Rivaldo says that he expects Real Madrid to keep improving under Zinedine Zidane while urging the Los Blancos fans not to press the panic button just yet.

Los Blancos settled for a 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid on matchday two, dropping the club’s first points in their La Liga campaign.

And Rivaldo, who played for rivals Barcelona from 1997-2002, says Zidane’s return will be enough to lead the 2017 Champions League winners back to where they belong after settling for a third-place finish in the league last season.

“Even dropping points at home last weekend in La Liga, I don’t see why the club and fans might start to panic, after all we are just starting the league and Barcelona also lost their first game,” Rivaldo said.

“Those kind of thoughts should only come after 10 matches or so, and if things are not improving.

“Zinedine Zidane is re-setting his tone on the team and soon things should get better. The club will battle for La Liga and Champions LeagueBrazil, but I don’t doubt that they might make a move in the transfer market before the transfer deadline.”
