certainly game goal kick last lucky second winner
The second goal was a lucky ricochet and unfortunately the winner was practically the last kick of the game and certainly an avoidable incident.
capable closed game match open
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.
both difficult game tense
It was a tense game and it was difficult for both teams,
alex game saw season space wait whoever won
Alex won us the game today. I already said (before the game) that I saw he was doing well. This is a long season and there will be space for everyone. Whoever is out must wait their turn, like Del Piero.
allowed dominated game great played
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.
factor game immediate impact manages players time
Del Piero manages to have an immediate impact in the game when he comes on as a substitute. He doesn't need time to become an important factor in the game. There are not many players around who can do that so effectively.
aggressive game glad half hugely improved knew match pace passing performed picked players slow
Parma were too aggressive in the first half, ... I knew that they would not be able to keep that pace all match long. We performed really well after the break. I picked up the right players and I am glad about the result. We were slow in the first half but we hugely improved our passing game in the second.
against focused game league minds
Our minds are now focused on the league game against Lecce (on Sunday).
soccer night games
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.
past games lasts
For me, I always study the last games that have been played, not what happened in the past.
game good played second wonderful
He played a good match, more so in the second half. He is a very good personality and will play a wonderful game on Tuesday.
ahead arsenal challenge desire game happy physical side sorry tough
I'm disappointed. It is a problem. I'm happy with the physical side of the game and the desire that we showed. But I'm sorry about having had such a tough challenge ahead of the Arsenal game, especially as they haven't played.
closing dangerous fighting form good hope liked means played players qualify result spirit
Roma played very dangerous counterattacks. It's in good form right now. I liked the fighting spirit of my players in the closing minutes. The result means that we still can hope to qualify (for the semifinals).
defense quick watch
Our defense is quick enough but we need to watch out for their counter-attacks.
