He decided himself to leave the squad. If we called him back, we would lose authority without any guarantees that he would not repeat such an act.

I was very happy, it was a very good game. I congratulate Argentina, who showed what a good team they are.

The group is very strong, but so was the one in qualifications for 2006 World Cup but we still got first place. I am convinced we will qualify for Euro 2008.

We want to be first. We are masters of our own destiny and we want to arrive in Germany unbeaten.

Even though we're up against a fantastic team, a positive result is a priority and we will try to remain unbeaten.

Although I might not want to lose anyone from the squad I might be forced to because of the restrictions in place.
