Rijkaard: “We got the job done”
Frank Rijkaard was pleased with the way his players performed in Tuesday night’s 4-0 friendly win against Egyptian side Al-Ahly.
“In the first half, the team played well” he said. “The opposition had more
chances in the second, but in general terms, we got the job done”.
Pleased for Bojan
Frank Rijkaard was particularly impressed with Bojan Krkic’s debut performance, in
which the 16 year old even managed to score a goal. “We are happy because he’s such a
talented player” said the Barça coach. “Although he is still young he has plenty of
class and quality”.
Denies outburst
He also denied stories that he had had a serious go at his players in Monday’s training
session held just before flying out to Egypt, and in the wake of Sunday’s setback in
Villarreal. “It wasn’t a telling off, here we all win and we all lose together. I just
told them that we need to focus on our remaining games.”
