This dispute is probably going to be resolved after we receive a letter from Safa (that accepts or rejects the demands from the players).

It would be unfair to say the money dispute influenced the players' performance. I try not to give too much attention to administration and negotiations and focus exclusively on soccer.

We were disabled by the rain.

We need someone who understands our problems and only local candidates know what we've been through. I will absolutely not recommend a foreign candidate (in my report).

Three of the players will drop out after the training camp.

Fifa states that I'm not allowed to get involved with players' contracts. I can be suspended.

The victory is now far behind us and we must concentrate on nothing else but the match against Tunisia. Only a victory will be good enough.
