FRANCE 98 – Holland-Belgium – D. Boffin: “This result is like a small victory”

Emile M’PENZA(20):

“It’s a good result. We now need to take three points against MEXICO. If we win against them, we’ll practically be assured of qualification. On the match itself our second half was a lot better. George LEEKENS asked us to push further up and that’s what we did.”

Danny BOFFIN (21):

A draw is quite a good result for us. It’s even like a small victory. You can be sure that we’re going to attack against MEXICO and the REPUBLIC OF KOREA. There is really a great atmosphere in the squad. We’re really united. In fact, this is what could make the difference.”

Enzo SCIFO (14):

“First of all, we defended very well. When Patrick KLUIVERT (9) was sent off, the team started to grow in confidence. It’s true though that we played better in the second half and the Dutch found it more difficult. As for me, I didn’t particularly expect to come on.”
