"It's a good thing to be an old man, when I was head coach of Sweden for eight years, I always had this pressure, I'm used to it, I know how to handle my feelings and that's one of the best thing with experience but I think if you ask me I will say i have a relaxed attitude towards the game tomorrow that's not saying we are not focused, we doing our best, we trying to do it same way we have done in the last two games. I want the players to feel calm and confident ahead of tomorrow's game."

"We are going to have a tough game tomorrow, it's a new game, we know about it. What's happened earlier in the tournament we don't care so much about that because we can't change anything that happened before. The only thing we can do is to prepare for the next game. We know we are going to play against a very good team but with what we know about Cameroon.
"I think we have a very good chance to beat them, but I also said nothing comes out from itself, you have to do your home work, you have to play the best passes, you have to use your scoring chances, you have to go down with your heart because if you don't do that you don't win any game no matter who you playing. I think the players are really prepared, they are strong mentally and I believe we will have a good game tomorrow.
