November 7, 200717 yr Sneijder and Cannavaro"We controlled the match"Sneijder and Cannavaro were pleased with the team's attitude during Tueday's Champions League match against Olympiacos.SNEIJDER:“We had many chances in the first half. We controlled the match in the second half, but didn't have as many opportunities, or they weren't as clear at least. Qualifying for the knockout round isn't so easy. We only have two matches left so the sooner we do the better.”“We're already thinking about the match against Werder Bremen. All in all, this isn't a bad result, although we did want to win. It felt good to play again and I am happy with my performance.”CANNAVARO:“I think we're returning to Madrid with two points less than we deserve. We weren't able to score, but I really liked the team's attitude. What I didn't like was the end of the match. We have to be more careful in order not to deal with a counterattack in the 93rd minute. After dominating a match like we did, you can't lose because of one lapse of concentration.”“We're going to move on with the same attitude and enthusiasm as the last two or three matches. You can win or lose, but attitude is what counts. We'll be fine if we keep it up.”“The coach decides which centre-back plays each match. We just have to work hard and play the best we can.”
