best cup enter fantastic half played second throughout
Having played less, he's fresher and can be at his best throughout the second half of the season. He will enter the World Cup in fantastic form.
discuss half ignored mistakes occasion option preferred second several
On one occasion in the second half when (Alessandro) Del Piero was completely free, he ignored the better option and preferred to shoot. He made several mistakes and we will discuss it.
chances five gift goal good half minutes scoring second six won
I think that with the chances we had we should have won it. We didn't get a look-in for the first 25 minutes and the first goal was a gift but in the second half we must have had five or six good scoring chances.
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.
avoided goal half maybe second
In the first half we conceded a goal that we shouldn't have done. Maybe the second we should have avoided as well.
soccer half way
We deserved to lose and it was a good result for us, considering the way we played in the second half.
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.
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.
high plays skill team
Bremen is a team that plays with a very high skill level.
believe confident miracles tomorrow
Sometimes, miracles can happen. We are confident about tomorrow because we believe we can do something exceptional.
decisions motivate pull strings
You have to pull the right strings to motivate players. There are no untouchables. I tell the guys, 'Accept my decisions and everyone will get their chance.
brazil champions cup defend european involved liverpool next qualify won
Liverpool won the European Cup and they should have the right to defend their trophy. The champions should be involved but I think they should have to qualify like Brazil have to qualify for next year's World Cup.
compared extremely last quality terms together training year
We have an extremely competitive roster in terms of quality and quantity. And compared to last year we know each other better and have all been together from the first day of training camp.
