“We mustn’t be afraid, as I am convinced this squad can get to Russia with no problems. Once we’re at the World Cup, we’ll have our say and achieve good things.

“It is a young side and will improve with time. The future is bright and I would not be worried by the present either. We’ve got everything it takes to reach the World Cup in Russia and, once we are there, fight it out with anyone.”
