On late withdrawals of players
We want to play for our country; we want to do well from our country. So, every game is important. Even though we know these two games are important, even previously the other games were important as well. Just that sometimes it is what it is, you know. Coming to these two games, listen, tomorrow is going to be a tough game, Monday will be a tough game as well. So, we will do our best.
On preparation so far
I think we are preparing well tactically, technically, physically. We really look good. So, let’s see what happens tomorrow. I don’t want to talk too much because obviously we’ve had a couple of days of training and what I’ve seen is positive. So, we’re ready for tomorrow and we’ll see if we can get a positive result because we want to get a positive result. Monday will be a tough game.
On putting in a good performance
We are going to try to put in our best performance. Obviously, I think we are not here for holidays. We are here to work hard, to perform and to get good results. You know, it will not be easy, but it will also be the best chance to be successful tomorrow. It’s going to be a tough game, a very tough game, because it’s a high-performance team.
On not coming to Austria for fun
Going into the World Cup, I think it’s not for me alone but it’s a positive thing for us. As players, we are really looking forward to it, so let’s see how it goes. We have the ambition to come and get good results tomorrow. We are not coming here just for holidays or just to work. We are here to work hard, to perform and to get good results.

Shoes are more than just items worn to protect the feet; they are essential fashion accessories that can transform an outfit, express personality and add a touch of elegance to one’s appearance.
From casual outings to formal occasions, the right pair of shoes can make a simple outfit look stylish, sophisticated and complete.
High heels remain a favourite among women who want to add elegance and sophistication to their appearance.
Available in different designs, including stilettos, block heels and kitten heels, they can be worn to weddings, parties, formal gatherings and other special occasions.
While stilettos create a sleek and glamorous look, block heels offer greater stability for those who prefer a more comfortable option.
Flats are ideal for people who value comfort without compromising on style. Ballet flats, pointed-toe flats and loafers can be paired with dresses, skirts, trousers and jeans. They are suitable for office wear, shopping trips, church services and other everyday activities.
Sneakers have become a major feature of contemporary fashion. Once associated mainly with sports and exercise, they are now worn as everyday fashion statements.
White sneakers, in particular, pair beautifully with jeans, casual dresses, shorts and even tailored trousers. Sandals are popular for their lightness and versatility, especially in warm weather. They come in flat, heeled, strappy and platform designs, making them suitable for casual outings, holidays and social gatherings.
Loafers offer a blend of sophistication and comfort.
Wedges and platform shoes are suitable for those who want extra height while exploring alternatives to traditional high heels.
Despite the variety of shoes available, fashion enthusiasts should consider comfort, fit, quality and the occasion before making a choice. Shoes that are too tight or poorly fitted can cause discomfort, regardless of how attractive they look.
