At the moment the plan is for Woodgate to play a game on Wednesday to help him build his confidence. I have not decided whether he will play tomorrow or not.

I am not concerned about two successive defeats, ... I am just sad for the players that they haven't got their due rewards.

We practiced against Juninho's free-kicks, ... But not enough to stop him.

Despite such a heavy defeat, we need to keep calm because the competition is starting and we can't let ourselves become demoralized.

[He concluded with a curious statement for a coach given pretty much the pick of world talent for his club.] I don't believe, ... that the team played any worse than they did against Celta Vigo.

They were lucky because they scored with their first free kick and that decides lots of things. In the second half we had opportunities and possession but the goal we deserved wouldn't come. The statistics show that we had a lot of opportunities but we didn't take them.

A great part of the game went well. We made some mistakes but I liked what we did.

That is the same situation of Diogo and Michel Salgado.

Although it was a particularly bad result, we have to remain calm because the competition has only just started and we can't afford to be demoralised.
