KEANE STILL CONFIDENT

Last updated : 16 August 2002 By Newshound
With the season starting tomorrow it seems United are still the same as last
year, well as far as quotes go. Here's Keono's take:

'It was a soft goal to give away,'.

'We had possession just before the free-kick and then he just hit a long ball. It
was a bad goal but we are all in this together and we must make sure we put
it right in a couple of weeks.'

And on qualification:

'I can't imagine us not qualifying and if we play well on the night I think we will
win,' said Keane.

'But it is going to be a hard game. They will come to Old Trafford confident
they can get a result and if we give a goal away it will give us an even bigger
mountain to climb.

'I don't believe we deserved to lose last night but sometimes you don't get the
luck you think you deserve.

'We were a bit sluggish in the first half but the second was a lot better. At least
we have a second chance.'

'The spirits are good, so now we have to concentrate on Saturday,' he said.

'We are professionals and we need to bounce back, get a decent performance
in against West Brom and get our league campaign off to a good start.'

Meanwhile Zalaegerszeg coach Peter Bozsik said:

"Our chances of qualifying have improved - from 2% to 5% but it is a great
night for our supporters."

Now that's optimism!
