I can't explain how you can control a game for 40 minutes, it was one-way (traffic), and still lose. |
I don't believe the gap between Chelsea and us is as big as the Premiership table shows, |
I have a lot of respect for Sofia, and they play well in attack, |
I hope it will be like a European game. It will be better for us. We have a clearer idea in the Champions League and maybe we will have more confidence. |
I intend to use all the players in my squad. |
I know we have been inconsistent in the league and that is frustrating, |
I need to know why after all the problems in the game there was only three minutes. |
I need to speak to the doctors but if he is not fit in two to three days it could still be dangerous in one week. I will speak to the England manager (Sven-Goran Eriksson) about it. |
I preferred to lose Steve for 80 minutes than for one month. We tried playing second-half counter attacks but we couldn't score. |
I remember Sir Alex sent me a letter of congratulation when we won the Champions League, praising the tactical changes we made at half-time. |
I spoke to some players after the game and pointed out a few mistakes we made. |
I think that we deserved to win. We had 21 shots, 17 corners, hit two crossbars and three (disallowed) goals. |

I travelled to Geneva with Sir Alex Ferguson for the UEFA coaches conference last week. He's a nice person. |
I want to thank all the players, the employees at Valencia, the press and especially the fans for their support over the past three years. |
