PADOVA - Clarence Seedorf stated to Milan Channel: 'I think it was a tough mat
ch. They were aggressive and well organised. We had to be patient, playing our
game at our own pace. We controlled the movement of the ball and possession.
After Sheva's goal we had more chances to strike with our fast counter-attack.
We wrapped it up when Gilardino scored the second goal. They did have a great
chance, but Stam saved our goal. We won a game that we were supposed to win,
that it. I think we showed that we can play the right way, without pressure an
d at our own pace.'
