We have fallen into the trap of playing too slowly this season,

Deco was brilliant against Mallorca. He played like he did last season. He made some great challenges, worked really hard and made some very intelligent passes.

The development of our relationship has been very good. I enjoy playing with Steven. He has been brilliant all season and has brought that into the tournament.

Knowing where the trap is—that's the first step in evading it.

I think too much is spoken of playing things slowly.

I think we deserved to get through and I congratulate the players. We said before the game that nothing was decided and that we had to play a good team which is very dangerous. We did well and we didn't give away many chances.
