We are much fresher this time. After we scored the second goal (against Bulgaria) we really started to pass the ball around on the floor and they were the ones to get tired.

I got a kick on my calf after four minutes in Sunday's Premiership game with Newcastle and now the calf is like a dead leg.

It's good to be feeling so fit before this tournament.

We don't feel any pressure. We'll keep our feet on the ground and we know that if we play well, we will be able to get a good result.

We are very happy, obviously.

Our routine has changed a lot from four years ago.

It was great to score but we didn't win so of course we're disappointed. I think we played well and created quite a few goal chances but unfortunately we did not manage to convert them.

There have been problems in the past and it's difficult to get them out of your mind. It's important for us to calm down and play our football because that's what we do best. If you don't and it gets physical, some of us aren't that big.

It's a relief. I am really looking forward to this and to finally being playing tomorrow.
