closed match
We could have closed out the match a lot sooner,
difficult instead match return rome stayed tie
If we had stayed 3-0 down the tie would have been all but over. Instead we're at 3-2 and there's still something to play for, even if the return match in Rome (on Feb. 1) will be a difficult one.
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.
goals matches
In the two matches we played, they scored two goals so they are better than us.

both gained lost points result sides tried
I would not say we lost two points but that we gained one. Both sides tried to win. The result was fair.

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.
points
We're two points from the top, that's what we wanted.
options
We had other options but Vieira was the one I wanted,

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.

We could have used a performance like that on our side.
