(When Bielsa was in charge, he looked unlikely to join that trio: Bielsa preferred Claudio Lopez and Batistuta, whose partnership with Crespo never took off. The final stages of the coach`s reign coincided with a long absence for Crespo from the national side. Pekerman has restored him to the lineup and reaped the benefits.) I don`t feel like I`ve booked my place for the World Cup yet, ... Experience tells me that right up until the last moment nobody gives you any presents.
I have to have a good game on Saturday, ... This is what I`ve been hoping for so that I could go back to what I was.
Maybe we have put an end to this Premier League.
Everything is done with Milan, and all that is missing is my signature. When I return from my holidays, I will do what is left. I am happy and I wanted to stay. There is a financial cost that has come with it.
First of all, I have to thank Milan, but I know that the result has been the fruit of my efforts and my hard work. It has been a fantastic season, and I`m happy. It`s a pity about the Champions League final.
If anybody has a problem with Seba, they should talk to him. He isn`t a difficult player, quite the opposite - and it would be a shame if Veron were not in the team for personal reasons. If he isn`t around I hope it`s because of football reasons or individual tastes and that it`s also only for a short spell. I appreciate him as a person but he`s also a great player. He`s in good form at an important club.
What happened at the last World Cup we can use as experience. We were favourites and we were dumped out after the first round.
