“Things have gotten better on defence. It looks like our whole team has gotten better. We just have to go out there and do it on Sundays. We can talk all we want, but until we go out there and prove it, it doesn't mean anything.”
Brian Urlacher
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”
Voltaire
“You talk about this defence, the defensive tackle position and what that means, adding another person to our rotation -- somebody who's really a different type physically than what we've had -- is really exciting to us,”
Tony Dungy
“[Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday backed Gabriel Heinze to emulate Steve Bruce and become a regular goalscorer from Manchester United's defence. Centre-back Bruce netted an incredible 19 goals back in 1991, most of them headers from set-pieces, and Fergie believes fearless Heinze can do the same 14 years on. Heinze got off to the perfect start this season with two goals in United's midweek 3-0 win over Debrecen, which sealed their Champions League place. And Fergie is adamant the Argentine can have the same impact as Bruce in terms of goals.] Gabi is brave enough, that's for sure, ... He's got so much courage. He's certainly prepared to put his head in there for set-pieces, as he showed the other night. He only managed one goal for us last season but he can definitely get a lot more than that. Steve Bruce got 19 for us back in 1991, which was exceptional. Gabi has similar characteristics to Brucie in that he won't hesitate to stick his head in.”
Fergie
“[Like Rangers, their attacking options are offset by an untested defence.] They are not as good in defence as attack, ... They have replaced Seitaridis with Fatih Sonkaya, a Turkish defender signed from Besiktas. The fans don't trust him very much. César Peixoto is a winger playing at left-back. At the centre of defence are Ricardo Costa and Pedro Emanuel, how good are they? Not as good as Ricardo Carvalho and Jorge Andrade. Adriaanse has already said that Jorge Costa is too old.”
Carlos Machado
“We tried many ways to attack and we were very surprised by Kenny Miller, who played very well. Our defence tried to stop him in any way possible.”
Marcello Lippi
