And in the first four minutes of the second-half, he created a lot of opportunities for himself. |
Claude suffered a knock on the shoulder, but it's not serious, |
Croatia is very strong. Technically they are good, ... But we can always give that something extra to find a solution no matter the opponent. |
Does he need to score a hat-trick in every match? ... Does he need to get the ball from the half-way line and dribble past everyone? |
England gave us a very difficult match and at halftime I told the players we had a big job to do. France started the second half well but I have to say that penalty save from Fabien boosted us. That was a big psychological blow in our favor. |
I hope this result will help the team to wake up, |
I sensed there was a lack of confidence, they were tense, |
If you look at the others you would see that we are not in such a bad situation, |
It is important for the players to relax physically and also psychologically, |
It was a strange game, all the best chances came from similar situations and all the goals came from set pieces. We got the victory and I congratulate my players. But it took two teams to make it a great match. |
It will not be easy, ... Whether it is Croatia, or Switzerland, Holland and Germany. They are all good players. |
It's exactly what he did yesterday and Fabien was ready for it, |
Marcel needs maybe two or three training sessions to be operational for 90 minutes, but he has not abandoned the idea of playing (in the competition). |
Marcel will not play tomorrow, |
Not many people expected this match, ... But it will be difficult anyway. We have our destiny in our own hands. |
