Ranieri On The Arsenal Game

Last updated : 01 September 2002 By Rich Godden
Speaking at a post match press conference Claudio said "When we play Manchester United or Arsenal you can win but also you can lose,”

“In the first-half they moved the ball very quickly but they didn’t score. We did well to score.”

“The second-half was a more tactical and physical match and after Patrick Vieira was sent off they closed every space.”

When asked about what he thought about Arsenal, Ranieri said: “They are very strong in midfield but in the second-half only Wiltord and Kanu were attacking.”

Some interesting words from the wise old Italian...
