Statement made by Song

''We know each other, he is my little brother,' Song told reporters. We often speak to each other on the phone and I wanted to congratulate him. It is fair play to do so. Just because we are on different teams, it does not mean we are not still brothers.

''He did not celebrate his goal, but this is all part of football. I am happy for him and proud of him. He is with the Swiss national team and I would have liked him to be on my side, but that is the way of life.''
