“Austria is a tough team with height and physicality. We are very happy to have qualified.

“When we were patient and had the ball, we knew we were finding the game and we created chances.

“We had things to improve. When we were patient, we found the passes.

“We will see the results from tonight and if the situation allows, I want to give minutes to all the players that we can.

“When the opponent attacks with a lot of players, you have to defend. The reading of the game is easy, it’s clear that we can do better but we are well and we are competing.

“There are many national teams that are competing to be World champions. This World Cup is not about favorites, there are psychological and physical aspects. We will be in that fight but it will be difficult for everyone.

“The World Cup is a long tournament and we have many options. We know that all the players can contribute what they have to offer.”
