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).
players step
When my players step on the pitch, they try not to underestimate their rivals,
against air both fast good leave players teams
Both players are strong, tall, fast and good in the air and they can both do well even against teams that don't leave much space.
history hope players return
It won't really be a friendly, considering the history and the rivalry. I hope my players return healthy.
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.
attack changes choice decisive player rhythm tomorrow
Pavel is a player that changes the rhythm of games. He will be decisive tomorrow when we will have no choice but to attack from the start.
accept decisions fortune good players
I have the fortune to have players who accept my decisions because they know they are working for the good of the team.
player two pie
When I was a player, I'd have a pre-match meal of the biggest lump of fillet steak you could find, followed by rice pudding. Other times I'd have a steak and kidney pie. I'd finish the meal at 12.30 and be playing two-and-a-half hours later.
real player two
He will be England captain one day. Jack Wilshere is a real leader. I saw how he spoke with the referee and the other players [against Denmark]. It is difficult to find someone so young with such a big personality. I remember two defenders, Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi, and one attacker, Raul, but for personality and confidence on the pitch he is the best young midfielder I have seen for his age.
player messi genius
If you're speaking of a fantasy player, then it has to be Leo Messi as he's so unpredictable. He's an absolute genius.
intelligent player media
I can't stand the crap that gets talked by everyone - Players, Fans, The Media, Club Officals. Why should I waste my time listening to people who are clearly less intelligent than me
player personality age
In my entire life I have never seen a player of such quality and personality at such a young age, particularly wearing the 'heavy' shirt of one of the world's great clubs.
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.
