list
I could show you a list of controversial incidents.
creating score true
It's true we need to score more goals, because we are creating chances.
clubs proud talk trophies win
I am proud when big clubs talk about me, I must be doing something right. But I want be here and win trophies here with my club.
difficult diving players pushing
It's very difficult to play here. Players diving all the time, pushing - they have another set of rules.
football goals good scoring
In my opinion, we had a good first-half and they had a good second-half. But football is all about scoring goals and we scored two and they only scored one,
difficult maybe solution
It is not easy. If you have a solution maybe we can see but the solution is very difficult to find.
agents danny dream lots players spoke talked time wants
It was important he has said that he wants to play for us. We have talked to lots of players and agents but the first time we spoke to Danny he said it was a dream to play for us.
changed maybe players realize team virtually
At Valencia we changed the players virtually every match, maybe we will not be able to do that just as much but all must realize they are important to the team, and it is the team that is important.
awards fantastic fully last medals might players receive season
Any medals and awards our players might receive for last season are fully merited, because they all did a fantastic job.
home last lost positives season
I try to find positives and last season we lost at home to Graz AK and went on to be the champions.
quality score
The strikers will score goals, because they have quality and they are working hard,
foot happened near opponent
It is very disappointing, it happened when he jarred his foot and there was no opponent near him.
afterwards closer fight focused players saying win worry
If we win, we will be closer and we can fight for more things, but I don't want to worry the players by saying too much about this. I want them to be focused on what they need to do to win the game. Afterwards we can think about the table.
clean confidence front games goals good sheet team win
The team has a lot of confidence in games. We know we can concede goals and still win matches. But it would be good to go in front and keep a clean sheet in these games instead.
