Majorca coach: After being tied, we became timid, while Real Madrid controlled the game

Hupu August 31, Mallorca head coach Hagoba Alassate regrets the team's 1-2 loss to Real Madrid. He attributed the loss to the team's fear from being equalized, and said that Real Madrid will take advantage of it once they find an opportunity.

"Satisfied with what we played, yes, but not with the result. From being equalized to being halftime, we became timid and when Real Madrid smelled blood, they took the opportunity. It was a pity because we had the chance to equalize in the second half, and it was a pity and anger that we were left empty-handed. We performed better in the second half, and the goal they blown away gave us motivation. We got two chances afterwards...and they controlled the game in their own way," he said in a press conference.

Alassat evaluated the team's start of the season and only earned one point after three games. "The team is improving. The game against Barcelona is very strange, and then we improved against Celta, and today we played a good game. On the defensive level, there are things that need to be improved, and if we keep improving, good results will come. The interval is coming when it is time to come, and there is nothing we can do. We have a lot of internationals and we have to pray that there is no accident to deal with the next game. By then the transfer market is closed and what we need is to continue to improve," he said.

In addition, the coach also expressed his views on three cancelled goals from Real Madrid: "The two cancelled goals are very fair, we must believe in VAR, and the third depends on the interpretation of the rules."
