I didn`t elbow him. It would be different if I tried to elbow him, tried to hurt him.
I know about football - I`ve played for six clubs after all - and I can see the changes Martin makes during matches. Managing isn`t only about training and talking, it`s about what you do during the 90 minutes. That`s his strongest point - his tactics, how he changes the game.
It was a normal collision, I went for the ball and even a yellow card is too much.
Didier is a very good lad, ... He`s much better than some people in England think. He hasn`t shown the best quality yet but in Marseilles he was incredibly good. I know he will show that again. I still believe he was a great signing for Chelsea. He shouldn`t think about how much he cost, just concentrate on his game because I know he will do even better this season.
The decision to send me off was very unfair, as I was only protecting myself and not elbowing the player.
You could see the influence of Edgar in midfield, expressing for every ball and everybody was fighting,
Jermain is a great player,
