All matches are fundamental, in any competition.” And he focuses everything on the group’s self-esteem: “Being aware of our strength and where we want to go is more important than knowing the strength of Malta or England.” “When we know who we want to be – he adds – these teams will be an obstacle to overcome in order to give joy to those who love us.
