We were playing without several key players and had juniors on the bench, thus, it was difficult to do better under the circumstances. Each side had its half and it is going to be difficult to get a result in Milan.

We've got the deepest bench in the state. Even with a few of our key players hurt, we've still got seven or eight guys deep. We work the 3/4-court man (defense) the whole time and by the end of the game they were worn out.

Sometimes your bench players are your most important players.

We missed several key players at the tournament but should have done better. We were a bit unlucky in the end as we went out on goal difference and Senegal got through even though we had beaten them.

It's a very bitter pill - 2-1 would have been a better result, especially in a home game, but nothing's impossible.

Italian teams always give you the idea you can play your own game but also prescribe how far you can go. We will have some chances in Milan but have to be aware that we must keep our lines close to each other. That was what went wrong in the second half at home.
