JOSE – NO PRESSURE FROM UNITED

Last updated : 08 November 2005 By editor

“We are not under pressure now. Manchester United have to win a game and then they are still seven points behind. If you ask them if they want to change position with us they would do it in the same moment.

“We are not happy because we lost, but we feel proud of the way the team performed and proud to participate in the game. I believe it isn't a fair result for my team, but at the same time they were in front and defended everything with a lot of spirit and a lot of effort and they won a game.

”They have had a difficult period, they lost a lot of points and a few matches, but they have a good team, a good manager and the future can be better – but not enough to be champions of England again.

“For sure they have a better future and will be more close to us, but I still believe we showed today why we are champions and why we are top of the league.”
