1) England beat Albania 2-0 at SJP last night. Did you go to the match?

Yes, I was there. England had a few difficulties with the Albanians who played a very defensive game. England scored in the 44th and 87th minutes but Albania had one or two chances that they failed to put away.

2) What do you think of this England team?

They are very good but as soon as you go on the attack, they are vulnerable.

3) What do you think of the Owen-Heskey partnership?

Apart from his goal, Michael Owen didn't do much but he's a player to watch, just like Heskey. They weren't that good last night.

4) Now that you are back from Montpellier, you can tell us about how the English are reacting to their victory over Germany?

Oh, every time yot switch on the telly, they are replaying the goals: you can't get away from it. They keep comparing the current team to the one that won the World Cup in 1966. In any event, they are very proud of their team.

5) French team stuff...

6) How are you preparing for the Middlesbrough game?

Well, I finished training today at 2 O clock and then went to the weights room. One thing is for sure, this team works very hard. Bobby Robson talks lots and occasionally stops practice games etc..

7) Do you know the Middlesbrough team?

Apart from Job and Boksic, no. But we don't focus on the opposition, we concentrate on our own game.

8) Will Alan Shearer play?

Probably, he feels good and looks like starting with another striker. As always, I'll be on the left wing.

9) Any news about transfers?

None at all. There are still rumours about Distin but I really don't know anything. Goodbye and have a nice weekend.
