"I am really, really proud of them because the performance...some people say 'oh you
know, you lost' but we lost against the champions of South America. They were there waiting
for us for 15 days and maybe thinking about the game for months. We were just arrived
after playing a lot of games and we could win the final if we could have scored first.
We had four clear chances and Petr Cech has maybe one save. So, you cannot say that that
was an amazing game because against Monterrey we played really well. They could see this,
that against Corinthians it wasn't an amazing game but it was a tough team to play against.
We knew that before, we could see it on the pitch but still we had four clear chances
and we could have won the game. So, really proud because I think they worked very hard
in special situation and coming back we say 'listen, its just a game' - an important game
for us but we have to move forward and then start thinking about the Capital One Cup."
"You can ask me questions about the future of players all the time but my answer is always
the same so..as professionals they are doing really well. Important players for the club
and they are full committed in terms of training sessions and games and this is what I can
say so I cannot say to much."
"For sure we have the conviction that we can win and we will try to do it. After the game,
if we have won, maybe the question has no sense but if we couldn't win...so we will
see what happens. But, obviously we will be thinking about the next challenge so football
is nine months and you have to carry on, you cannot stop or complain too much because you
have another game quickly."
