We deserved victory and definitely showed our value. We can look forward to the next match with confidence.

I was really pleased that we showed the right attitude to come back from that early setback and then go on and win the game. This is a fine result because we have beaten a very strong side here.

They put us under a lot of pressure, particularly at the start of the second half.

I believe we deserved to advance as the 2-1 loss at Prague (in the first leg) did not reflect our merits.

The key to any comeback victory, especially when you're able to do it repeatedly, is confidence - the fact that the players have confidence in themselves and their teammates.

The French team is working well now. (Last month's 1-0) victory over Ireland has given us confidence. At one stage the boat did start to take water a bit and was starting to sink. It wasn't a crisis ... a changing of generations, establishing a new status.
