Fabio Capello "I think the draw was fair"
Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello considered the final result of tonight's match against Atletico Madrid's stadium as "fair." The Italian boss was content with the draw at the Vicente Calderón stadium and he admitted that the team paid the price for playing such a tough match against Bayern Munich just days earlier.
"Atletico were in good form, and the Champions League always takes its toll on us. I am pleased with how my players performed on the pitch. I think the draw was fair."The Madridista coach said the team "suffered during the first 20 minutes," but believed "the draw is acceptable because I liked the team's spirit."
"A draw at a stadium like Atletico's is a good result. It's a tough place to play in. Derbies are always so unique. They really pressured us during the first twenty minutes when we kept on losing the ball. Although they controlled the first half, we had the three best scoring chances."
"Cassano played well and gave the goal assist. He needs more playing time and he's at the right weight."
Regarding the performance of the referees, Capello made his point very clear. "I haven't gotten involved with the referees in more than two years. They can be dead on or slip up," he concluded.
