It was a productive day for Rafa and his favourite word yesterday...
19.12.2004
I'm delighted because coming from behind shows the right mentality and character. We had character, clear ideas and intensity during the game. We played against a good team.
I decided to play six players with an offensive mentality and when you play like that you need to keep the ball well at all times. Newcastle were aggressive but we played very well with the ball and the system worked for us.
I am delighted the way we won playing with a good intensity and attacking mentality. We kept the ball and passed it well and the strikers worked hard up front.
We showed a very good character and we controlled the game. We decided to play with a very offensive team today and we had six players with attacking mentality. It's important that when you score you look for the second and third goal
Kewell has played well the last four to five games and I have a lot of confidence in him. He has trained very well and he has a very good mentality.

Sorry... must just be something I find funny.
