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.
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.
believe confident miracles tomorrow
Sometimes, miracles can happen. We are confident about tomorrow because we believe we can do something exceptional.
bit both chances created gave midfield played result strong
They played with just one striker and were very strong in midfield but we only gave them two chances -- both a result of carelessness on our part. I think we created a bit more.
both champions difficult goals league season seen start winning
You start the season with the goals of winning both the league and the Champions League. Once again, we've seen how difficult that it.
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.
answered field four last
Someone said that he hadn't scored in the last four matches, he answered that on the field today.
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.
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.
alex good justified knew looked main performance reason training won
Alex was the main reason why we won the game, he had looked so good in training I knew I had to play him and his performance more than justified my decision,
difficult good leg played possible stage
We did everything possible and played a good match, but the 2-0 from the first leg was too difficult to recover. We could not have done any better at this stage of the season.
chances created deserved great incredible mistake plenty pulled save win
We deserved the win even if it did come from a mistake by their keeper. He had an incredible night, we created plenty of chances but he just pulled off one great save after another.
