According to the coach, the debut participation in the world championship is a serious challenge for any team, especially if it is opposed by rivals of the highest level.

"Of course, the debut participation in the World Cup cannot be easy. After the draw, when we saw Colombia and Portugal in our group, we knew that serious opponents were waiting for us.

After the Colombia game, I said that I was proud of my team and today I can repeat these words. Yes, they had to face serious difficulties, but they did not give up for a second.

Of course, playing against a national team that has world-class players in every position is extremely difficult. Undoubtedly, the Portuguese entered the field with great motivation. However, as I said before, this World Cup is an important experience for us."
