“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.”
“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,”
“But, at least what we did to Guatemala shows that it can work-they are both great players. We have to ask some other players around them and those playing in the back to be aware of more getting the ball back,”
“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.”
“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 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.”
“I have made it into a practical situation by taking three goalkeepers, six defenders, seven midfielders and five guys up front, so therefore I think there is a lot of balance in the squad,”
