The score is good, the team played well, the supporters enjoyed it and at the end I'm very happy.
goals good job score
He has done a good job for us. For a striker it is really important to score goals and now I will have more options.
attempts delighted goal performance result score seemed shot today
I'm delighted with the result and also the performance. Sometimes you can't score a goal with 30 attempts but today it seemed every shot was a goal.
blame goals number score sports
I don't want to blame the officials. For me the most important thing is to score goals with the number of opportunities we are creating.
chances creating maybe question score
If we need to score two, or maybe even three, then why not? We will score. With strikers, it is a question of luck. We are creating chances for them and they are creating their own.
creating score true
It's true we need to score more goals, because we are creating chances.
quality score
The strikers will score goals, because they have quality and they are working hard,
continues difficult easy goals good likely score
If I say 'no' it will be difficult for me, but he will understand, and if I say 'yes' it will be good for me, him and the supporters. I am not in a hurry, but if he continues to score goals then it will be an easy decision. The more he scores, the more he's likely to stay.
champions manager players playing sign
It is important for the manager to be able to say to players they want to sign that they will be playing in the Champions League.
central defender saying sign
As I keep saying I want to sign a central defender and not a forward.
details difference maybe penalty small
The small details are the difference and maybe we should have had a penalty or even two penalties.
losing
If you play in the final, it's for winning, not for losing
champions everybody fans league
It's very important for the club, the manager, the fans and everybody to be in the Champions League at this stage.
ability deep good key normal player spaces
He's a good player and when you play deep with spaces and you have pace and ability it's normal that you can play well. But for me the key was the first 20 minutes.
