Everybody stick to the play and everybody's intelligent we like to play with the ball, the positions, the runs with the balls that is why we created a lot of chances," he told Joy Sports after the game.

It gives us confidence I want the team to stick together to come together despite somebody is playing or not hopefully we have a lot of games at World Cup everybody will get the chance to play,"
