The main part is for the players to play with the same attitude they have when they play at home, for instance in the Guatemala and Panama games we won before. We have to go for the win from the first moment, from when we are on the plane to when we are back on the bus after the match in Panama. |
The majority of our players are playing in England and Scotland, and it's difficult to just come together for a match. At the same time we have a period for our preparations before the tournament (World Cup) and we will make the best use of that time. |
The only thing we try to do is play a good game to beat Bahrain. |
The preparations with the local players will begin during that period and it gives us an opportunity to not only work with the guys who are currently on the team but also to see some others because we are also looking at one or two from other leagues in Europe. |
There is a lot of hype and interest over the qualification for the World Cup but we are there for an important warm-up match with Iceland and let's see what happens. |
We all travel on the third and we will also send one member of staff to see the Mexico/Guatemala game just to have the latest update before we play them. We already know Panama and it's down to us now to prepare well and get the job completed, |
When we started in May after three matches the team only had one point and nobody gave us a chance. In the qualifying matches it went better and better, and this, of course, is the result. |
