He isn't in the squad because I wanted to give him a rest.

It's a good first step on the way to qualification. But we can't rest on our laurels. Chelsea is too good a team for that.

I think we deserved to get through and I congratulate the players. We said before the game that nothing was decided and that we had to play a good team which is very dangerous. We did well and we didn't give away many chances.

Samuel is a human being and he felt bad on the field. I was pleased with the reaction of his teammates. They all went to support him and encourage him to stay. The referee also did really well.

I saw some good things. Although we're not at our best, ... Little by little we're moving up to our peak.

We are not looking at dealing with the height to stop them from developing their play but rather the formula.
