assess difficult doubt factor great huge influence morale positive return value
It is always very difficult to assess the value of individuals but there is no doubt that Henrik will have a huge positive influence for us. He is also a great influence on the squad, the morale of the squad. His return is a very positive factor for us.
time
Practically, it is a done deal. If you said anything else, you would be lying. But at the same time we are not there yet.
competition mental perhaps problems question smaller
They will have some smaller problems to restart the competition. Perhaps it is more a question of mental fatigue.
crowd cup extra faced fun good opponents since style
They are good opponents with a style of play like (our World Cup opponents) Trinidad & Tobago and Paraguay. It will be extra fun to give the crowd a completely new opponent, since we've never ever faced them before.
draw italy learned perhaps playing question reach second stays win
Perhaps he stays in Italy and so learned from Machiavelli. We want to play to win this game. It's not a question of playing for a 2-2 draw so Italy will be out and to reach the second stage. We are going to play our game.
dutch either equal gone good level match playing
I think we had a very good game, playing on this level equal with the Dutch team. It was a really good match and it could have gone either way.
heads held match situation team
Every team in this situation would have done the same, I think we can go away from this match with our heads held high.
game opponent
We wanted to have an opponent who will take the game seriously.
against aggressive bad ireland since
We had a bad day at work. I don't think we've had such a day since 1998 against Spain. Ireland were more concentrated and more aggressive than we were. We didn't play as a team.
bad ireland respect since versus
We had a bad day at work. I don't think we've had such a day since 1998 when we started versus Spain, but respect to Ireland - they were much more aggressive, much more concentrated and we did not play as a team.
again final game heard italy result until
We heard now and again the result from the Italy game but I didn't hear about the final result until the end of our match.
