There is no need to underline the weight of this match with your players: “When you play with history in front of your perspective, then you are ready to give your all.

There is no doubt about who will start ahead: “The favorite will be Holland, because they have incredible players, but we have our strengths”. Closing on Romania who, trained by their father Anghel, reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in USA ’94: “They were fantastic moments for our national team, but this is a different group. We know that tomorrow we will have to be close to perfection to get a good result. Don’t be fooled by how Holland played against Austria”.
