Madrid sit 12 points behind Barcelona in the league and head to Valladolid on the back of the crushing 4-1 defeat to Ajax on Tuesday.
"I am the coach and tomorrow, our obligation, mine in particular, is to go there and do the best we can," Solari said."We know it is not the best moment for us after the game the other day but we have a professional obligation, we have 12 games ahead, and we have to stay as positive as possible.
"Mathematically we are still in it although there is a lot of ground to make up. The first job is to win tomorrow." Several players could also be playing for their futures, with an overhaul expected in the summer. Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Marcelo, Casemiro and Karim Benzema have all been disappointing in recent weeks.
Asked if the players' performances have been worthy of Real Madrid, Solari said:"Most of them have. And those that haven't been, I have told them personally.""Disciplinary issues are handled internally," Solari said."On the pitch, it is always the same, you have to get yourself fit enough and playing well enough to get in the team.""We have talked and he will travel," Solari said.
