"My boys built big guys from Sweden into the place," - with this phrase after a press conference of one of the strongest teams of the Old Continent, Trinidad and Tobago team strategist Leo Beenhakker started. "Today we could see that there are no small fish in football. Of course, our opponents had more chances and players of higher skills, but we fought hard throughout the match. "At the beginning of the match, my boys were affected by the atmosphere and this big event, but when we calmed down, we proved that what is on paper rarely plays out on the field. "This is football, and two plus two does not always make four like in mathematics. Most of the time it's three or five. I'm extremely proud of my players. They deserved this day. "Look at the Swedish players from clubs like Turin's Juventus, London's Arsenal, or Brussels's Anderlecht, and look at mine, representing San Juan Jabloteh and New England Revolution, and see what they did. This is the true beauty of football." The hero of the match, goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, did not hide his joy, saying: "This evening is a dream come true. I enjoyed the match, and I didn't have to withstand fantastic shots because the defenders played very well. "It's great that we found new fans here, and we hope this is just the beginning." Meanwhile, Swedish national team strategist Lars Lagerback did not hide his sadness: "These are the kind of matches that have happened before and will always happen. We controlled the game, created many more chances than our opponents, but the ball just didn't want to go into the goal. "We didn't attack sharply enough, and Trinidad's goalkeeper Shaka Hislop was simply unbelievable. I can't find an explanation for what happened. I think we played well but didn't score. I hope in the next matches, we will be able to turn our dominance into goals. "We are in quite a difficult situation; in the next two matches, we might have to achieve two wins, but we can only blame ourselves. We will have to start over and overcome this failure." "We couldn't send the ball into the goal," added coach Zlatan Ibrahimovic. - This is football, if you don't take advantage of opportunities, you won't win. "We know what we did wrong and will try to correct mistakes. We still have hope, nothing is lost. We won't give up and will keep fighting."
