"I have tried as a coach to do whatever I could so that each of my players starts the game tomorrow in the best of form. Even if we draw, maybe we will manage to go to the second round, which is our great wish," he said, adding that a win will definitely be be a bonus.
"We are conscious of the fact that we didn't play at the level we are used to in the game against Ghana but now I'm sure every player will manage to find the special energy needed to win against a very good opponent."
