couldn't play on the wing
Alvaro
Recoba press conference
03-02-2003:
Inter coach Hector Cuper's post-match comments:
"I'm pleased because we played a good game, especially in the
second half. We deserved to win. Recoba 's performance on the
left wing was determining for us. This victory is important
because it means we remain on top of the table. We played well
in the first fifteen minutes then we had a few difficulties.
But thanks to Recoba we managed to break up their defence in
the second half. Vieri and Batistuta did well and I'm pleased
with how they played. They make the right movements and they
play for the team. The result will definitely come if a team
makes sacrifices in every area of the pitch."
Cuper: "Recoba started off on the left and it
was there that he created problems for the Granata defence.
Batistuta went close to scoring on many occasions today. He
didn't score but he moved very well by making the right movements.
Recoba expresses himself at best as a support striker. When
he plays on the left or as a half striker he has a tactical
task that requires more sacrifices."
Massimo Moratti: "Recoba did very well. His assists were very
important for the team."
Okan: "It was more a Recoba goal than a goal of
mine. He did really well, the assist was spectacular."
Alvaro Recoba was outstanding for Inter throughout
Sunday evening's 2-0 victory over Toro. Here's what assist man
El Chino said after the match:
"We had more space in the second half and so the goals came.
Ours isn't a true trident because one of me, Batistuta and Vieri
always has to make sacrifices and get back. The team would suffer
if this didn't happen. I think it went well as an experiment,
it could be an extra weapon for us. We must continue in this
way and not lose track of Milan. We've extended our lead over
Juve, but everything will be decided at the end of the season."
