Champions League: reactions

Van Holsbeeck and Slavia Prague's coach have reacted on the draw. Van Holsbeeck said that Slavia should be taken seriously and also that another draw might have been more difficult for Anderlecht.


"Of course there were better teams, but it will not be easy, you know", said Anderlecht manager Herman Van Holsbeeck. "We must show much respect for the Czech football and prepare this match very seriously, as usual in the Champions League. We will need a great Anderlecht to qualify".

Also in Prague, the reaction to the draw is special. "There were stronger teams, but also weaker teams. It will be an open game. Anderlecht is a very good team, with a tradition, but it would be a pity not to believe in our chance to qualify", said Prague's coach Karel Jarolim on Slavia's website (www.slavia.cz)
