The main reason is the lack of team on the field. Many players were not made a setup of the coaching staff. This applies both to defense and attack.”
Michael O’neill (Northern Ireland): “I could not ask for more from the boys – they gave all the emotions, all the energy our fans were magnificent. Let the guys enjoy the win and start to prepare for the match with Germany. We will not underestimate them”.
