“Top top talented boys, hardworking players and they were hungry to show the nation what they were about. We had to select the best possible players to represent the nation and that’s what we did. We had to guide them and work really hard and we had a vision together with the DNA of national team and that’s what we used for this group.”
“It will help the process in terms of bringing our new national philosophy, national DNA and its gives us leverage to push really hard. We have a lot of work to do and I think this is just the beginning.”
