I know it's a tough group with Morocco and DR Congo and there are teams better than us, but soccer isn't played on paper. When we go out on the pitch, it will be to win (...).We want to do well in our matches. We have to be realistic.My players and I know what we have to do. Our aim is to do well in the group phase and then we'll see," he says.

We're trying to transpose all the joy and quality of our training sessions to our matches, and we'll see what happens," he asserts.
