The French manager wasn’t very angry after his first defeat in 40 games. Zinedine Zidane was satisfied with the performance at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán and he was looking forward to the next game, in Copa del Rey against Celta de Vigo. Los Blancos played a good game, but they were unable to keep the result in the last 5 minutes of the game.

“We missed the last five minutes. It’s hard with the game we did. The defeat is hard. We knew this was going to happen some day”, Zidane said after the game against Sevilla. However, he wants to think in a positive way: “Of course we can get positive things, like always”.

The manager regret the last minutes of the game: “We knew this was going to happen anyday. From here until the end of the season it will be hard. The pity is the last two goals in the last minutes”, Zidane commented. The manager also explained the change of formation: “We had to change after three games in 10 days. I’m happy with the players”.

Zizou explained his vision of the two goals: “It’s easy to say that we didn’t know how to defend. It’s true that the first goal is a free kick and the second one a ball lost… We did right in 85 minutes. I’m very proud of these 40 games. Now we have to rest and thinking in the next games, with other motivation. From here until the end of the season we’ll have more tough games”.

Real Madrid lost against one of the best teams of La Liga. Sevilla are now only one point behind Los Blancos: “Sevilla showed they are able to fight for La Liga title. Sevilla will fight for sure. They play well, fight, they have intensity. The same as we do… I’m not going to think or talk more about Sevilla. We are hurt because the defeats are not welcomed”, the French coach explained.

The manager also described the feelings of the squad: “I don’t think is a lack of concentration. These are moments in the game. A free kick, a ball lost… In 90 minutes, it can happen. We have to analyze a little bit what we can improve. I can be very happy about the game, the content and disappointed for these two goals. Like the players”, Zidane finished.
