continue moment player risky select train
He is a very important player to us and it would be too risky to select him now. It's better for him at the moment to continue to train with Bayern.
break goal liberate ourselves pressure second
We were put under some pressure after the break and we weren't able to liberate ourselves or get the second goal which could have been decisive.
achieved good
We must not think that we've already achieved something great. We are in a good situation, no more and no less.
beat hoping opponent players
I was hoping my players would beat the opponent in one-on-one situations. They did, but never scored. Latvia showed why they're here.
against brings players qualities
But the important thing is that each of our players brings out his qualities just like they did against the Dutch.
fit players practicing
My impressions are more than positive, all my 23 players are fit and all have been practicing well.

With all due respect, it was still just a friendly, although we would have liked to have won that game. But a friendly is a lot different from a tournament match.
bit came chances game good half table
It was a bit bumpy in the first half hour. That was probably down to the game on Thursday, but we came back and had a lot of chances on the counter-attack. It's good to go up the table a bit.

It paid off that he played for us after all the goings on. With him we are now sixth in the table and the team with the best form.

We felt it just couldn't go on like this.

There are better teams but there is quality in ours, even if that hasn't been obvious lately. If we believe in ourselves, we will be hard to beat.

This is bitter the team is devastated. I will try and lift their spirits. But if you can't score a goal in two matches against a team like Sofia, then you can't advance.
confident early giving good late match next played
After the early disappointment for giving away the late goal, we are now more confident for the next game. We played a very good match for long stretches. But that's past. From now on, it's only Latvia that counts.
