FRANCE 98 – South Africa-Denmark – B. Johansson: “We must admit it was a strange game”

“We had a good start and played very good football for the first 15 to 20 minutes. We didn’t play the rest well, so we have to accept the score. We must admit it was a strange game. We don’t know our situation for the future before we see the result of tonight’s match between FRANCE and SAUDI ARABIA. We looked confident, and that was very positive. At the start, we could have scored four or five goals but I wasn’t afraid when we didn’t score immediately. That’s football. I hope you’ll remember this game in the future. We had a lot of problems on the left side in defence, that’s why I changed Michael LAUDRUP (10). You have all seen what happened so I can’t say any more about this game. I just want to say, remember this game in the future, if you want to know how a football game is played.”
