Zidane: ‘Apart from the first 15 mins we played a good game’

It all started in the 11th minute when El Capitano lost the ball in his own half and Villareal took advantage of Sergio’s mistake. Blancos had to catch-up for the rest of the game and have barely escaped defeat.

Clearly enough, the French boss appeared to be happy with the outcome:

“In football there are mistakes, but apart from the first 15 mins, when we did not show up, we played a good game. When you concede twice, it is always important to get back into the game. But we must score more goals.”

Zidane admits the team have to improve on the finishing and do it reliably:

“Villarreal attacked us twice and scored two goals. This can happen, and we must work in that. To improve our defence, do better, and then in attack we know we can do things. But the positive point is the reaction, important not to lose.”
