The most important thing is we played a great game and showed a lot of character, ... We dominated in midfield. (Patrick) Vieira was excellent. We really allowed Inter very little. |
The second goal was a lucky ricochet and unfortunately the winner was practically the last kick of the game and certainly an avoidable incident. |
There are some nights when everything goes your way and some when it doesn't, and this wasn't our game. I was most disappointed with our lack of aggression as that is normally one of our characteristics. |
They did a very beautiful job. We hope we can play here too. |
They played with just one striker and were very strong in midfield but we only gave them two chances -- both a result of carelessness on our part. I think we created a bit more. |
They were a difficult side to play against because they closed down the space and were then quick on the break. We had a good game, but unfortunately we just weren't able to score. |
Today I saw a determined team who has played 20-25 minutes with a high tempo and determination. We could have scored more goals and we conceded a goal that could have been easily prevented. |
We are and remain a strong team. |
We are doing well and the team is in good form. Today's win has nothing to do with the loss to Roma in the Cup. |
We are not ourselves anymore, we've lost a little something, |
We could have closed out the match a lot sooner, |
We could have closed out the match in the first half. At the end, when the game did open up, we showed how we are capable of playing. |
We could have used a performance like that on our side. |
We deserved the win even if it did come from a mistake by their keeper. He had an incredible night, we created plenty of chances but he just pulled off one great save after another. |
We deserved to lose and it was a good result for us, considering the way we played in the second half. |
