“Ever since we started playing in the Champions League we have been waiting for this match. At last, it arrives. I can't wait. The fans are excited, the ticket office has been under siege. This motivates us to do well.”
“The French team is working well now. (Last month's 1-0) victory over Ireland has given us confidence. At one stage the boat did start to take water a bit and was starting to sink. It wasn't a crisis ... a changing of generations, establishing a new status.”
“We have had to deal with a couple of problems. Some training sessions were disrupted by the bad weather and several players got injured. It has only confirmed that the title race is far from over.”
