RUUD - TIME TO FOCUS

Last updated : 14 September 2004 By editor

"I am happy that I am back now. It is good to be back and to be part of a team that is so strong and that is why we look forward to the future and see what we are like," Ruud said.

"Rio is coming back and I think it's looking good. We are getting players back from injuries and that is a good point but now it needs to happen on the pitch. We don't have to look at other teams we have to look at ourselves."

We have drawn too many games so far. It's simple we have lost one, but we have drawn too many and I think the key for us is to start winning instead of drawing. I think we are not far off it's just one of those things. If we win one game we will get on a run. We are not losing games that isn't the problem that we are giving chances away, I feel we are quite solid but it is up to us to get three points in almost every game now."

"It's up to everyone to start turning those draws into wins. If we can play as a team and play well together, I am convinced we can pick it up. We have gone on winning runs before and we can do it again and we need to. We cannot even think about other teams at the moment and right now we cannot look beyond Wednesday and our Champions League game against Lyon. Then it’s Liverpool next Monday."
