KEANE CALMS DOWN FINAL TALK

Last updated : 19 March 2003 By Editor
"People are saying we've done well in Europe because we've
got to the quarter-finals again but, as I keep saying, it's
all about winning it,

"Reaching a quarter-final means very little unless you go on
to win the competition. It's nice to have qualified but it's
all about getting over the final hurdle,

"I think we have learned a lot in Europe and that has shown
in our results. The patience we have in our play, especially
away from home, and the concentration levels we've shown are
invaluable, but last year we came unstuck against Bayer
Leverkusen when I thought they were there for the taking.
That is frustrating."
