After the early disappointment for giving away the late goal, we are now more confident for the next game. We played a very good match for long stretches. But that's past. From now on, it's only Latvia that counts.
|
But the important thing is that each of our players brings out his qualities just like they did against the Dutch.
|
He is a great talent but he is here to learn.
|
He is a very important player to us and it would be too risky to select him now. It's better for him at the moment to continue to train with Bayern.
|
He told me that he wanted to do something new. It's a pity but we have to respect it.
|
I was hoping my players would beat the opponent in one-on-one situations. They did, but never scored. Latvia showed why they're here.
|
If Klose had converted the cross in extra time I would have gotten the proverbial pat on the back. It was his kind of situation, but he didn't convert.
|
It paid off that he played for us after all the goings on. With him we are now sixth in the table and the team with the best form.
|
It was a bit bumpy in the first half hour. That was probably down to the game on Thursday, but we came back and had a lot of chances on the counter-attack. It's good to go up the table a bit.
|
It wasn't just order and discipline. We dominated which is not easy against the Dutch.
|
My impressions are more than positive, all my 23 players are fit and all have been practicing well.
|
Our reputation was not built on words, but on our record.
|
There are better teams but there is quality in ours, even if that hasn't been obvious lately. If we believe in ourselves, we will be hard to beat.
|
This is bitter — the team is devastated. I will try and lift their spirits. But if you can't score a goal in two matches against a team like Sofia, then you can't advance.
|
We felt it just couldn't go on like this.
