“We always try to prove ourselves on the field. We’re going to try to win the World Cup for our people.”

“It was very even, both teams had many chances to score, but luckily we were able to strike first and Barbi saved everything, to be honest, it’s thanks to him too.

“We saw that even their coach said we are provocative, but it’s quite the opposite, none of us speak before the game, quite the contrary. We try to prove ourselves on the pitch, like today.

“Let the opposition continue, it seems like it’s all just talk. We’re going to the final with everything we’ve got.”
