RUUD WON'T LET COCKNEY LEAKS AFFECT HIM
papers this week.
"I don't think anybody thought about it for longer than two seconds. The way
David Beckham played last night sums up the way he is. There has been a lot
written and said about him but he is always there for us, for the crowd and
everybody at this club. Because of that I have great respect for him."

Ruud is also happy with the performance against Juventus:
"I am delighted with 11 European goals so far this season, it was a great
cross by Becks for my goal and I was happy with the finish.
"It was a great goal and a great start but I didn't think we played as much as
we could have done after that. We played a lot of long balls which I didn't
expect but in the second half we kept possession and played far better.

when they had to and both Becks and Ryan Giggs were getting back to help
out when needed.

out when needed.
"It was a great team performance.
"The way we defended was great. The way Nicky Butt and Roy Keane played
in midfield was fantastic and then there was Giggsy and Becks doing their
work as well as Scholesy and me. Everybody defended.
"Don't forget it was Nicky Butt's first start for a long time and the way he
played was unbelievable. It summed our performance up because we worked
hard. Because of that Juventus had a hard time here.
"We showed our willingness to fight for a good result and we all did that. We
are in the top group of the tournament with Juve, Deportivo La Coruna and
Basel so to get nine points from your first three matches is great.
"We are not there yet in the quarter-finals but we want to do that as quickly as
possible and we will try to achieve that next week in Turin."
