“They have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they have the right levels of passion and they really want to defend the red, gold and green colours of our dear country.”
“This is the time for us to reward them. Their desire was to bring the trophy…but I think that they have proven that they are on the right pathway and given the right level of investments, they will bring glory to our dear country.”
