SAF:
"Rossi’s a good talent and he can score, too. He’s only 17 and not very big but he’s got quick feet and a quick brain. Pique’s marvellous, too.
"I won’t particularly be comparing our young players with Arsenal’s, although that’s one way of looking at it. I think the best way to evaluate your young players is to play them in competitions like the Carling Cup and it doesn’t matter who you play, it’s still a step up. What’s important is how they react to the game and how they handle playing for the first team.
"I don’t see Wednesday as any different kind of issue to the League game against Arsenal because we want to win. I think whichever of us wins the match could go all the way to the final and even win the competition."
Wenger:
"I do not know what Alex Ferguson will do, I just will stick to what I did since the start of the competition."
