Fabio Capello Half Quotations

Having played less, he's fresher and can be at his best throughout the second half of the season. He will enter the World Cup in fantastic form.

Parma were too aggressive in the first half, ... I knew that they would not be able to keep that pace all match long. We performed really well after the break. I picked up the right players and I am glad about the result. We were slow in the first half but we hugely improved our passing game in the second.

I think that with the chances we had we should have won it. We didn't get a look-in for the first 25 minutes and the first goal was a gift but in the second half we must have had five or six good scoring chances.

We deserved to lose and it was a good result for us, considering the way we played in the second half.

In the first half we conceded a goal that we shouldn't have done. Maybe the second we should have avoided as well.

On one occasion in the second half when (Alessandro) Del Piero was completely free, he ignored the better option and preferred to shoot. He made several mistakes and we will discuss it.
