Frank Rijkaard Although Quotations

I saw some good things. Although we're not at our best, ... Little by little we're moving up to our peak.

I saw a lot of good things today, such as our defensive strength and the way Deco played, but we still are not 100 per cent, ... Little by little we are getting there, although it wasn't the most attractive game because we had to play against a solid defensive wall, but that's always going to be the way (in the Nou Camp).

We showed great pride to avoid defeat although I can't congratulate my players for drawing, ... It was only when we were losing 2-0 that some players lost their fear of wasting a pass.

Although we are not happy with the draw, it is quite a good result for us. We remain on the right course and if we keep working hard we will improve. At this stage of the season the best is still to come.
