I think the three points went to the best side on the pitch. |
I think this season we have a squad who can fight a little bit against that. We have more solutions, I can rotate a little bit, I can use players who have not been involved in international week to try to give some fresh blood to the team. |
I think we deserved the victory, no doubt, |
I think we will be champions but this time it will go down to the wire. I think it will be close. The other teams are potentially better than what they did last time. We played at an incredible level and gave no chance to the others but they could be better than what they were. |
I think we will win or get a scoring draw. Maybe you will laugh at me after the game, but I can't go against my feelings and my confidence. |
I thought we were unlucky. I want to give my congratulations to them because they won. But we were the best team. |
I told Mr Ferguson United didn't deserve to leave with nothing. |
I told my players we can't lose the ball, and we can't let them get behind our defense because they want to do that. The players did what I wanted them to. |
I told them that some of them may be lucky enough to play in another Champions League final but most of them won't, ... They have to go out and take this chance with both hands. |
I want to think about the next game now - we need four points to be champions. |
I wanted him because I was looking for a player to finish what is a very, very strong squad in every position and every department. We believe he is the best we can get for that position. |
I was pleased with Joe Cole. He spoke on the pitch and not in the media. |
I was telling him he was crying all the game. I was telling him, 'It's enough. Sit down!' Referees are always very direct and strong to put me in my place, but other managers can do what they want. |
I went in early for halftime to prepare what I was going to say to them. They did what I wanted in the second half, they were fantastic. |
I went to prepare the diagrams on the board, ... We made only one man change but in tactical terms it was a big difference. |
