“But surely, we want to qualify and I have told the players to go have fun,” he added. “If you make mistakes, I will take it on myself. First, try to play football, try to score, to win and we give our best.

“We haven’t won anything, so, this is a football ad sometimes, you play good, you lose. Sometimes, you play bad but you can win. So, it’s a privilege to be here, to have the chance to go to the World Cup and we will do everything we can to qualify.”
