FRANCE 98 – Yugoslavia-Iran – I.Curkovic: “Victory is important and nothing else”

News from SAINT-ETIENNE – Ivan CURKOVIC speaking in the mixed zone, Sunday 14 June:

“It’s only the final result that counts in this match against IRAN. Victory is important and nothing else. It’s the way it goes in this kind of competition. Anyway, you’ve got to take into account that, since the start of this competition, none of the teams have had a truly great match. IRAN performed very well and displayed some undeniable qualities. The three changes made in the second half brought on new blood and more action.”
