Cannavaro Rarely Wins A Ball, Raps Tense Capello
A visibly tense and very curt Fabio Capello responded to questions on his decisions by backing all of them - even that of playing Sergio Ramos at left back. However, he did let out his frustration with Fabio Cannavaro's Real Madrid form.
"I don't regret not lining Marcelo up from the very start," said Capello. "I can't simply line up two newcomers as starters for such an important match.
"Marcelo is only 18 years old and has to play more games. I know this from experience. Ramos did a good job as left back. The whole team suffered throughout."
Refusing to speak about Deportivo's hold on the game, he went on to insist on attributing the first goal to Guti's absence: "We gave the first goal away. Guti is always our fourth man on the barrier and the ball went through his vacant hole. Casillas could do nothing to stop it.
"Once they scored they grew more confident. I'm the one who's responsible for everything that goes on, both if we win and if we lose. We play eight matches this month. We'll see how we come out of that, when the last match is over."
However, he finally decided to spak about Cannavaro's continued run of poor form: "Cannavaro is playing badly recently. He never wins a ball against an opponent."
