"That's why we are in the semi-final, because we've shown that on the pitch during all the games that we have had."We know the weather is tough, the pitch too, and all the teams are very good. There are many things are around the game and we have to deal with it."That's why this competition is so hard to play and that's why we are so happy to get this far."I think if we can overcome these hurdles we can do anything and that's why we must believe in ourselves, give our best and see what goes after.
