“There is no easy pool in the se­ries.”

“We have another tough pool, and we have done a lot of research and analysis this week.”

“We have put together a plan on how best we can come out strongly on that pool and advance into the final the following day.”

 

“We’re up against the ever im­proving Argentinians- very com­petitive, very aggressive team.

“France and Spain are well struc­tured teams.”

“We must be clinical and com­posed and fight our way through.”
