In a chat with Brila.net Pascal stated that the team has performed incredibly well and deserved all the praises they are getting, but warned against complacency.

“I’m impressed with the boys Ladan Bosso took to the tournament,” Pascal said. “They have shown hunger, zeal and determination so far, but that isn’t enough.”

“The most important thing is not to lose concentration, because at this level, that’s usually the problem.

“They have to come all out, play well and focus. If they can do that, they stand a very good chance against Argentina.”
