We have been following Manuel closely for a while. He has been constantly improving and is a very interesting player. |
We know this is an important game for us because we did not have to face the qualification as Italy did. We need these highlights, these games such as Italy, France, Holland, Brazil, Argentina, to grow and to develop this team up to the World Cup. |
We know what Didi can do, |
We raised expectations with our performances in the Confederations Cup. We have to get back to the way we were playing then. |
We talked a lot and it was important. Now, all our concentration is devoted to soccer and the next game. |
We want to finally beat a top team -- that would give us a boost. We will now concentrate fully on the match. Everything else is secondary. |
We want to make further progress after Austria and Brazil. We want to push forward quickly, play with confidence, show aggressiveness and win. |
We want to push that back. It would be best for us to work with a large group of players for longer. Hopefully, we'll have time until shortly before the tournament. |
We were thoroughly surprised by his critical comments and we can't accept this kind of conduct. |
We would love to end this period of not beating a big nation. We get another try tomorrow night. |
We're delighted that he's doing so well again. But our priority is on the players that are with us now at the fitness tests. |
We're delighted to have this test just before the World Cup against a strong South American team. |
We've got to concentrate more, |
We've learned from it. You get to know where your enemies are. |
