"It is never easy, even if it looks easy. We put a lot of work in. They played with a lot of short passes, and we expected more long balls, but the reaction was good. Another excellent team performance. It is a special moment - it rarely comes that you qualify for a World Cup. The mood is very good and it is all smiles and music. It is a moment to enjoy."
"It means a lot and it is different. You cannot create it artificially. It is beautiful to see what it means to the players. The way we won, first of all, gives us a lot of satisfaction. Six wins and six clean sheets. We are there. It is a special evening. You can feel it in the staff and the players."
