His Kjetil Knutsen, Bodo/Glimt's bench counterpartChivu's claims did not go down well with him.
“I can't do anything about the talk in Italy about our ground. Manchester City didn't even mention the ground, they just congratulated us.
We are not used to San Siro either, but we are thinking about other things. We don't care what others do. Those who think too much about the cold and other aspects are not intelligent.
If you want to have a good performance, you have to think about other things. Playing at San Siro will still be a gift for us and we have to be ready to receive it,” replied the Norwegian coach.
