I think we have performed well in recent games, although we failed to score North Macedonia's goal, but it does not matter. We have to Try to play our style and score goals."

"Everyone has confidence in this team. We know we can win tomorrow. We want to participate in the World Cup. Now is not the time to consider all possibilities. We have to play tomorrow's game as a final."

Although coach Rudy- Garcia showed no pessimism, but he expected it to be a "different game": "Wales played more offensively, they are a united and typically English team who want to play with high intensity. We need to show that we can score because we also had chances against North Macedonia Yes. The atmosphere will be great tomorrow, so we have to enjoy the game and play to our level."

However, Rudy Garcia was unwilling to reveal who will be the starting forward: "It depends on the status of the players. We will have a real No. 9 player on the field tomorrow, but it depends on who it is. situation. I have confidence in all the forwards. Their characteristics are all different, but all interesting. "

In his view, the team cannot perform poorly again: "We have all the conditions to win the game. What if we can't win? Get at least one point. It was also a positive and useful result that helped ultimately lead to first place in the group. I'm not going to play for a draw, that's not our style, we're here to win. "

And the same player, you say he should play. Here's the thing, I make decisions based on my own observations. "

"When we win, it's always considered right. And when results don't go your way, that's the fate of a coach. Everyone thinks they can do better and I have enough experience not to care about that and focus on the next game. "

"The biggest pressure is given by ourselves. Against Wales here, we have the opportunity to show our strength. We are ready and motivated with one goal: to win and control our own destiny. "
