It could be dismissed as sour grapes from a coach who knows he is to be fired, but Frank Rijkaard had a point yesterday when he added a barbed caveat to his glowing tribute to the strength of English club football. "I think the level of English teams is very high," said the Dutch coach who oversaw Barcelona's Champions League success in 2006. He added: "If it were not for the fact two had to play each other [Liverpool beat Arsenal in the quarter-finals] you could easily have had four teams in the semi-finals as it is very difficult to beat them. They are very strong and very disciplined, really very tough to beat."
