Game analysis: “It was not a good game on our part. Denmark came in strong, very aggressive, we couldn't compete with them in the duels and we just started losing. We've had a sip of penalti, we've tried to react in the second part, but then we've suffered two bursts. Very difficult. Denmark had a lot of merit. Of course we have to improve, but now we have an important game to ensure the group’s first place.”

 

What was the conversation you had at the break? “The game was divided at halftime. We knew we had quality to go around, but their two goals made it harder for us. Penalti goal, free goal... are things we need to improve. We must assume our mistakes, because we are all men to do so. We are here to turn the next game.”
