THEY SAID IT . . .
“We’re tired of draws. It was a draw that was supposed not to happen. But it happens. What can you do, you just have to take it and move on. It does dent your chances and gives hope to the ones above you. But we’ll keep pushing on. It’s very frustrating.”
Frustrated Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela after his team’s title hopes took another dent when they dropped points against AmaZulu on Saturday.
"No, I haven't signed anything, I'm just waiting for someone to say, 'Ja, come’. But I'm going to stay at home. I now want to be close to my family. I'm okay now, I'm happy with my time in Europe." Bafana Bafana midfielder Andile Jali is available to any PSL club who wants him from the start of next season as he has turned his back on a three-year contract offer in Belgium.
"I don't think Mo or anybody else wants to be compared with Lionel Messi - he is the one who has been doing what he's been doing for what feels like 20 years or so. The last player I know who had the same influence on a team performance was Diego Maradona. But Mo
is in a fantastic way, that's for sure. As it always is in life, if you have to have the skills you have to show that constantly and consistently, and he is very good. He helps us a lot. The boys love playing together with him, he loves playing with them so it's good.”
Jurgen Klopp pays tribute to Egyptian Mohamed Salah.
"I didn’t like the game, I think we deserved to win because the game was more or less in control for the majority of the time … As a coach the biggest frustration is not the result, because some time that can happen. The biggest frustration
for me is when I work on the pitch and I see contradictions in the match … I want more personality in the team because many many times I felt that Matic was an island of personality of desire and control surrounded not by water but lack of personality, lack of class and lack of desire.”
Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho after the 2-0 FA Cup win over Brighton.
"That is not the end of the world. I sit in this chair twice in the Champions League and I knock Man United out at home at Old Trafford. I sit in this chair with Porto, Man United out, I sit in this chair with Real Madrid, Man United out. So is not something new for the club.” Mourinho angers United fans following the defeat against Sevilla last week by saying that being knocked out of Champions League is not a new experience for the club.
