We will field the best possible team to seek qualification”. More aligning the team in good form will not be enough.

We will have to be very rigorous, whether defensively or offensively. The objective is not to concede a goal and to convert our chances, which is a little more difficult for us to do. On this point, I have the impression of repeating myself weekend after weekend”.
