Srećko Katanec: The opponents did not concede a single goal. They have a very cohesive team

Uzbekistan's head coach Srechko Katanec answered media questions at the pre-match press conference before the 1/8 finals against Thailand

Before the match we rested for seven days. We are ready, the guys are ready too. Let's see what will happen tomorrow

Before the start of the tournament, I said that we will get stronger from game to game. We have a very difficult match ahead of us. The opponents haven't conceded a single goal. They have a very solid team. They play good pressing. Everyone thinks we were lucky in net, but I would disagree. As I said earlier, we lost some very important players, but I expect a better game from those in the squad.
