ARSÈNE WENGER
...on coming back from a goal down
We had everything in the game to destabilise us at the start. An early goal against us, a keeper who stops everything, and despite that we stuck to our game. We played the game with fantastic quality. Technical quality. Decision making was quality. The movement was quality. And I must say it was really enjoyable. It looks to me that the team develops and gets better from game to game, and that's something very positive, and as well the players are very happy to play together.
...on the injury to Vieira
He [Patrick] is limping quite badly, he has a sprained ankle. He's a strong boy so I still hope that he will recover, but it looks to me that he could be short for Wednesday. I will not take a risk on him at all because it's always very bad, but you know, it's a big game for us Wednesday night as well because the team wants to win the Champions League. But I will not take a chance. If the medical staff says he can play I will play him.
...on Henry letting Pires take the penalty
We had a chat about that yesterday because he said sometimes he feels it is difficult when he has just made the difference, an effort, you know. Because you're breathing, and it's difficult to focus. He asked Robert to take it, because he did feel a little bit tired maybe at the beginning of the game. I was surprised that he gave it because we have an order, you know, one - two - three. But if you don't want to take it he gives it over to the second one.

关于0：1后的大反攻
过早的失球，对方门将的神勇表现，比赛开局时的一切似乎都对我们不利。但我们开始反攻，我们取得了一场梦幻般的胜利。技术、判断、跑动，一切的一切都是高水平的，我必须说我非常享受这场比赛。这场比赛让我感到球队在不断的进步，可以说比赛一场打的比一场好。另外一个好消息是，球员们一起踢球时非常开心。
关于维埃拉的伤势
维埃拉脚踝扭伤，现在走起路来一瘸一拐的。虽然他很强壮，我也希望他尽快恢复，但看起来他将缺席周三的比赛。我根本不想在他身上冒险，因为这种做法通常不会有好结果。众所周知，周三晚上的比赛对我们很重要，因为我们想要夺取冠军联赛冠军。但我不会冒险，除非队医表态，否则我不会派他上场。
关于亨利将点球交给皮雷斯主罚
我们昨天讨论过这个问题，他表示有时候他的状态会因为之前的比赛受到影响，这时候主罚点球会有困难。球员呼吸急促时，很难集中注意力。他叫皮雷斯来主罚，是因为他在比赛开始时感觉有些疲劳。他让出点球时我很吃惊，因为队里主罚点球是有顺序的，第一人选、第二人选、第三人选……。不过要是第一人选不想主罚，他可以交给第二人选。
