“This pressure is not just on me as the coach but also on the players. It’s a big responsibility, but it’s one we accept with pride.”

“The sacred union between the team and the fans will be crucial. This pressure must be positive, and even if it becomes negative, we’ll handle it. We are highly motivated and have all the conditions to have a great tournament.”
