That was not a desperate choice, ... He's been adapting to the pace of our game ever since we started the preseason campaign, and he has developed physically as well. Tonight we thought it time to hand him his full debut on the European stage. |

The injury problems are clear to see, and we will have to have a good think about them. |
The problem tonight was finishing off. I'm proud of the boys, the way they played against a team with a budget five times bigger than us. But I always like to get a result. It's not easy to get six chances against Milan in this stadium, which we did. |
The time together and the match will be crucial for us. It is vital that we continue to improve as we build to November. |
There was little in it then and we have improved in the last year, ... It looks fifty-fifty but we're confident. |
These rumors are there, but I'm still with PSV. |
They are experiencing something they couldn't believe, something the experts couldn't believe, |
This is not a team to lean back and rely on just one or two counter-attacks each half. |
We (the coaching staff) make the decision - I'd like to talk to my group of technical people and we make the in-principle decision, |
We are working out the final details of the contract and when that is finished I will join them. |
We came here also to try and score, and not just to defend. In the second half we wanted to score another goal, and Beasley came up with it. That proved fatal for Monaco, but it was a great result for us. We must be the team with the smallest budget of all the qualified teams. |
We can be proud of the boys -- what they did. |
We deserved this win but we should have scored more than one goal. |
We didn't create a lot of chances in the first half. But I am satisfied with the way we played against such a well-organized opponent. |
