MILAN - Esteban Cambiasso, captain tonight for the full 90 minutes, spoke about the draw with Neftci and the possibility of meeting Chelsea in the last 32: "We don't fear anyone in particular, I'd prefer to travel somewhere a bit closer to home because I think that's important. What do I remember from when we knocked out Chelsea? That's all in the past, we're a different team now and we need to look forward. If we look beyond the result tonight I think the young lads were excellent, showing what they can do here at the San Siro. They put in a great performance and we could have won 3 or 4-1. If there was a time when the result is less important it was today."
What did he make of playing centre back? "It's up to the coach, one of my few strengths is that I put the team first, I was open to this option and that's how it should be. I've never felt out of place in that position because I played there as a kid and on the odd occasion when we were short under Mourinho or Leonardo. The Sneijder issue? Now's the time to talk about tonight's match and these youngsters who made their debut at the San Siro. That's what we should be talking about."
Finally his thought on what a difference Cassano makes to the team: "Antonio can do anything when he has the ball at his feet, he frightens opposition defences and he can make things happen whenever he gets the ball. We shouldn't focus on absentees, it's been a bit tough but on Sunday we got back to winning ways and we need to maintain that."
