Rafa pleased with Champions League start
Rafa enjoyed returning to his homeland with a 2-1 victory. He was obviously delighted with the start but had to change things in the second half when we were pinned back:
"We controlled the first half, but the second period was a problem. In fact, when I brought Cisse on for Peter Crouch it changed the game. He had pace and fresh legs and they had to defend against him and always be aware."In the end we finished the stronger side after a difficult spell. Earlier we had controlled the situation and had a very clear idea of when and how we would break."It was very important that we started this group with a win. Betis are a good side on their own ground with a very strong support and if they are able to get forward and attack they will cause other teams in this group many problems."I am always thinking only of winning, whatever game, and that includes our next match at home to Chelsea in this group."
Once again Rafa has shown that he is a great tactician in Europe.
As always please post comments.
