Owen remains confident of winning a regular place in the Real side
|
Michael Owen was stunned when Jose Antonio Camacho quit as Real Madrid boss three games into the season.
"There's no doubt this has come as a shock. It's strange but everyone has assured me it is not the norm for this to happen so soon," Owen told The Sun.
"I seemed to be playing more and more under Camacho even though I know it was only three games.
"It's disappointing but it's part of football. Players and managers come and go - you just have to get on with it."
In his last game as Real manager, Camacho elected to drop crowd favourite Raul in favour of Owen.
The England striker was then dropped for Mariano Garcia Remon's first game in charge following Camacho's exit.
But Owen insists he remains confident of forcing his way back into the team.
"I'm new to the country and new to the club but I'll show some good form soon if I get the chance," he added.
"I'd love to get my first goal under my belt. There's no pressure then.
"There are four strikers here and any one of us can perform with each other."
