Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.

I felt sorry for the match ball - it came off the pitch crying.

The hardest thing about an easy match is making a weak opponent play poor. A poor player isn't poor because he tends to kick the ball in his own goal. It's because when you put intense pressure on him, he loses control. So you have to increase the tempo of the game and he'll automatically give the ball away.

Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United.

It's all very simple: if you score one more than your opponent, you win.

However good an English team is, they will always have an additional advantage. It is that European players know that their English opponents will come at them in the belief they will win, and they can always be guaranteed never to stop fighting. They have a natural aggression that they are born with. If it ever goes, English football will lose its most valuable dimension.
