"You know that you'll meet strong opponents in a World Cup. This time we got some extra tough opponents (in the group phase) and it will not be any easier if we advance in the tournament,"

"We have chosen different types of players in order to be able to alter the pace and flow of a match, if we are ahead or if we are trailing, but we will not change our basic way of playing," Lagerback said.
