“It was a real achievement to score four goals. Of course some will say we were just lucky, or other such rubbish I’ve heard recently.
“I did get angry with my players in the first half, as we ran risks by making a few too many mistakes.
“Goran Pandev has the timing of passes in his mind and we prepared this game trying to avoid Roma’s offside trap.”
Leaders Juventus were surprisingly beaten today, so is the Scudetto race open again?
“We are only looking at our own progress. This season we’ve got 10 more points than at this stage last year, even if we have been docked two. I hope these two points will be reassigned.”
