“I'd like to praise my entire team, because they did have to suffer today. I think that they scored just at the right moment. We were pushed back and our pressing didn't really work in the beginning, but we were really able to exploit the spaces. I'm really happy with the overall performance because we played against very strong individual players.”

“In terms of the way we defended as a team, we have been made to pay very heavily for that. Every time we've made our first mistake, we've conceded a goal. The opposition had three chances and they scored two of those. We defended very well heading into the World Cup, but here at the tournament, the level has been very high and so we needed to be a little bit neater and tidier and adapt a bit more to this level.”
