"That's how it goes in football. Sometimes they'll call you a 'dog', other times you're rock-solid. Seriously, this is part of football and it simply goes that way. It's how football goes and it's part of the business. People can deal with it and we can live with that. We're professional and we're looking forward to the next game. We have high ambitions in this tournament and we're in a good position to win our group."

"Obviously, we'd like to be more powerful in offence and we'd like more chances to score, as we said right after our game against Poland. As a team, we're working on this in our training sessions and also in team sessions, working on theoretical things and solutions we will try to apply on Tuesday. We're looking forward, and we're looking good in terms of points. We're not worried."
