this Musa-number 7, don't give him an area
where he faces goals because he will punish
us" He said in his post match conference. "We had him in the first half and he was
nowhere, we had him for some time in the
second half. "When he started playing, he

comes in from the flanks an he did it tonight, he is very, very good curler of the ball
"you could see when his foot hit the ball that it was going to cause problems for the goalkeeper"
