FRANCE 98 – Match no.5 (SAUDI ARABIA – DENMARK, Group C): comments by DENMARK coach Bo JOHANSSON – Mixed Zone

“I’m very pleased to have won this match. We played extremely well in the first half apart from the last five minutes, when SAUDI ARABIA caused us a few problems close to goal. We kept possession of the ball for long periods of the game, and it was just a pity we didn’t create more chances. We started the second half very well but gradually fear crept in to some of the team’s play outside our penalty box. We can be very satisfied because we could have lost the three points during that period. For our next match against SOUTH AFRICA (Match no.22, 18 June at 17 h 30 in TOULOUSE), we’ll be confident of continuing in the same vein, even though we’ve got a great deal of respect for them”.
