Capello thinks "A draw would have been the most fair result"
Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello spoke to the press to analyse his team's third defeat of the season. The difference in the match, according to the Italian, is that Sevilla took advantage of their opportunities. “Scoring is what counts, and we didn't," stated Capello.
Your thoughts on the match.
We could have won after taking the lead, but Sevilla scored twice. Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo had our best chances. We could have scored our second, but we didn't.
How do you think your team looked?
I am happy with their performance. We're going to stay on course without any problems. This is football for you. I am convinced that we'll continue on top.
What do Real Madrid play?
Football.
Your thoughts on Sevilla.
I think they did well. Their players are fast. They didn't have many chances because Iker made a lot of saves. Sevilla are Super Cup champions, so they must be a good team.
Why did you take Míchel Salgado out?
Because he had been booked and I didn't want him to get sent off.
And Ronaldo?
Ronaldo was tired and a bit niggled, as was Guti. It's Ronaldo's second match and he's still not in top physical form.
How do you think Ronaldo played?
He had the chance to score, but didn't. Ronaldo is always a threat when he has the ball. He fought hard.
Do you think Salgado deserved to be sent off?
Míchel didn't do anything that would make the fans demand that he be sent off.
Is it a fair result for Sevilla or an unfair result for Real Madrid?
A draw would have been the most fair result. Scoring goals is what counts.
