Both teams had chances in the first half and it could have gone either way. It was very typical of a cup match. But after we got the first goal, we started to play better and the chances started coming. In the end we deserved to win.

We had five or six good chances to score.

We have global ambitions, but to get there we had to advance first to Asia.

Our attacking was good, as was our technique and passing, particularly in the first 30 minutes. There were a lot of good points, but also some bad points. We didn't play as well in the second half as we did in the first, and although our defense held on, there is room for improvement.

Another reason I wanted to stay here was to build a good team for next year. I have my eye on bringing in one or two more players.

We have now qualified for the 2007 Asian Champions League and I am very proud of that. We will all be celebrating today.
