CANNAVARO AFTER VILLARREAL - REAL MADRID

Fabio Cannavaro talked to the press after the match against Villarreal. The Ballon d'Or winner said Real Madrid had been better during the first half and that the game became "sloppy" in the last 45 minutes. "We have many injured players, so it is normal for us to have problems right now," said the centre back, "We must stay calm and keep working as we have been doing lately. The season is very long."

We lost because we didn't play too well. We fought hard, but we didn't manage to win the three points. We are looking to be more regular. I don't like following two good games with one like this."

"We played better in the first half. They scored in the second 45 minutes, which were sloppier. They wasted a lot of time. It was a hard match."
