Quotes
Sir Alex Fergusson
"I asked the referee, he said he thought it was a serious incident, and he thought the player needed treatment, whereas he [Ballack] was up right away.
"Once he has done that, I do not understand why he has not stopped the game when Evra is lying down?

"With a replay you can see Ballack has elbowed the boy, and if the referee had seen it properly, it is a red card.
"The referee is in line with it, and should have at least stopped the game, but he did not.

"Of course, then they went on and scored the second goal. It is hard to blame the Chelsea players, because it is a professional game.

Carlo Ancelotti
"We found it difficult, but we were better in the second half when we put more strength on the pitch. In the end, we deserved to win," Ancelotti said.
"It was an important start to the season and now we have to continue to work and improve.

"I like the mental attitude of the players and the organisation of the club.
"We are now ready to start a very important season and want to do the best.
"This result is important because it proves our possibilities."

On the controversy in the build-up to the second goal, the Chelsea manager said: "The referee can stop the play and also the players can put the ball out.
"However, for sure they did not see Evra down on the pitch, because a Chelsea player would put the ball out if they saw an opponent down."
