Pepe worried about the leaky "Real" defense © EuroFootball.com

"Real" Madrid defender Pepe has set a new goal for his team mates - to significantly improve the team's defense.

This season, fans of the "royal" club rarely have reasons to celebrate clean sheets, as in the last two games against "Sevilla" and "Rayo Vallecano", five goals were conceded.

"This is an important task. After all, we let in goals against "Sevilla" and "Rayo Vallecano".

We can't play like this in the future and we will need to maintain a high tempo throughout the full 90 minutes on the field. Of course, it's important that we won both games, especially at the "Rayo" stadium, where it's not easy to play," said Pepe.

A tough challenge awaits the Madrid club - on Tuesday, Carlo Ancelotti's team will face "Juventus" in Turin.
