"Today we just had to go for it, you know. We were prepared to lose the game. I told
the players they've got to start believing in themselves, I believe in them. We played
four at the back with only one holding midfielder player and the rest of them were attacking
players, and I was confident that the back four with a holding player would do the job
today, and they did."
"As the coach said, obviously we took a huge gamble in terms of the attacking players,
but we had to be bold, we had to be brave and we've said we believe in ourselves and
it's, you know, we had to show that today and I believe that every player showed that
and it's important to sort of stay focused and realise that the job is not done yet.
We still have one more game before we can say we've qualified. So that's our next focus
and our next aim."
"South Africa is a team that plays well, I think therefore they don't need the help they
had today (from the match officials). But I think their team was helped and that made
a difference."
"Everything is still possible. We are going to wait and see the result between Morocco
and Cape Verde. We are going to keep on believing that everything is still possible. We will
carry on working, and waiting for the result between Morocco and Cape Verde."
