Discontent among Real Madrid supporters forced club directors to hold a meeting with the 'Grada Fans' group.
The group had reportedly been planning a protest at this weekend's home game against Valladolid with captain, Sergio Ramos, one of the main targets.
According to Cardena Ser radio show, 'El Larguero' (via AS), two members of the group met with Madrid directors. It had been feared that protest would spread to other parts of the Bernabeu.
"This is the team that won the Champions League. Now that things are bad we need an active support section to get behind the side more than ever. Remaining silent is not an option," is the message which Real Madrid directors reportedly sent the fan group.
Ramos has been at fault on numerous occasions this season and especially so during the 5-1 defeat to Barcelona in the first El Clasico game of the season at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
Supporters are said to have been especially annoyed with Ramos's reaction to Casemiro's post-match interview. The Brazilian called his side's season a "disaster". Ramos said it was an "inopportune" time to make such comments.
Madrid sacked Julen Lopetegui on Monday night, just four-and-half months after he was controversially appointed prior to the World Cup.
