FC Barcelona´s coach Frank Rijkaard was absolutely delighted after his team´s late 1-0 win over R.C.D. Mallorca.


Here is a selection of his comments during the official post-match press conferene:


Fank Rijkaard:

We have obtained three very very important points. It was a complicated game against a Mallorca side, we knew were doing well away from home through their well organized displays.

Without such an attitude, it would not have been possible to win. I believe that we took to the pitch with the correct attitude, and fought until the very last minute to make a difference.

We tried to score throughout the game, but the ball would not go in. Then, the resources that we had available on the bench helped us make a positive impact. The team, in general, played an attacking game, had a lot of the ball, many chances, but also very little space. I am very satisfied with this result and with the attitude.

Saviola is a player born to score goals. This is practically his goal, as he was the one who hit the post before the ball luckily went in.
