BLUES UP FOR IT

"I will never forget my first Manchester derby and this one will not be any less
exciting I am sure. David Beckham was not in their side on the first occasion
but the fact that he is this time only makes it more interesting"
"You cannot allow Beckham two yards of space or he is likely to punish you
with a magnificent ball. You lose count over a season the number of times he
sets up a goal. He is a great player. I have only played against him once but I
think those who criticise him underestimate his talent. I think he gets the
recognition he should be getting because he is a world-class player."
"Of course we have to keep an eye on him, but he is not the only one. They
are on a good run at the moment but we too have world-class players and we
have beaten them once already. Playing them again should inspire us. It is
the kind of game that foreign players dream of performing in when they come
to this country."

"On Sunday there will be no motivation problems for our team. We know they
will want to wipe out the memory of the defeat at Maine Road and I know it
will be a special atmosphere. The intensity of our crowd is usually something
special but on that day it was 10 per cent higher again. I expect it will be the
same at Old Trafford."
"I have learned just how important beating United is to our fans. In the weeks
after the win at Maine Road people were stopping us in the street and that
was nice and you can feel that kind of build up beginning again. There is
nothing like it in Danish football. Of course there will be nerves. If you don't
have that little feeling in your stomach then it means you don't care anymore,
but it is more excitement than worry."
