Alvaro Morata has declared "something is not right" after Real Madrid drew four games in all competitions for the first time in over a decade.

The European champions had an impressive start to the La Liga season, winning their first four games to equal Barcelona's league record of 16 consecutive wins.

A frustrating 1-1 draw with Villarreal on September 21 saw Real miss the chance to surpass Barca's tally - and they have not been able to return to winning ways since, drawing with Las Palmas, Borussia Dortmund and Eibar.

"It's clear something's not right," the 23-year-old told Spanish radio station Cadena SER. "We need to be united as a team and fight all for one and one for all.

"If you look at Madrid individually, there are some very good players, but when we have played as one, as a team, people say we have the best squad in the world.

"We have to look to see what's going wrong. I don't know if it's a lack of intensity, but it's better to find out what's going wrong now rather than later."

The Frenchman has the international break to come up with a solution before travel to Real Betis on October 15.

Asked whether Zidane could turn to an angry management style in search of solutions, Morata added, "All of us get angry at some point.

"He is very communicative with us. More than giving us a ticking off, they are conversations in which he tells us what he thinks but to our face, and he is that way with all of us.
