"We were missing a Maicon-style figure on the right. We have changed nine players and it seems normal to me that it'll take a while to settle," he said, referring to the full-back sold to Manchester City this summer.

"Wesley Sneijder reacted badly to his substitution, but that just shows he is a leader who wants to win at all costs. I am not worried by that sort of reaction.
