What They're Saying
San Lorenzo midfielder Enzo Kalinski (via FIFA): "I'm a classic midfielder. My job is to link up with the two holding players and try to get the team playing. We're different types of players and I think that's why we compliment each other so well. We went through some tough times. Seeing the fans suffering so much because of our points average and because we came so close to going down really made an impression on me. We managed to turn things around by working hard, keeping our feet on the ground and sticking together as a unit. And fortunately, we managed to climb our way back up."
Auckland City midfielder Ivan Vicelich (via TVNZ): "To be in a Club World Cup semifinal after beating the champions of Africa is unbelievable. It sits besides anything I've achieved in my career before."
