"We conceded only one goal in our five matches, but the one scored by Belgium was a psychological setback for us. It was a high-pressure game and, in the shoot-out, they kept their cool better than us. It was important for the players to realise that football – and life – are like that. The next time they are in a situation like that, they will handle the pressure better. They reacted extremely well and it was a solid performance against Italy that allowed us to achieve our objective of qualifying for Chile."
