But I think it's like if you look at the games now that we've played already so far, it will not be that easy, you know?
It's something we've been hoping since the last World Cup.
We're hoping that this generation will do something special.
We even hoped already in the last World Cup that there's something special.
Then we said, okay, they're young, they have to grow, and they will grow to the next World Cup.
And I think we don't realize that we play at home, that there's a lot of pressure alone on that, that we have to get out of this group stage.
Alone, the first game, opening game for our own country, our own club,
it would be everybody's excited we will hope that we get the win and if you don't get a win with the first game already it's a lot of pressure starting so and i think we we always you know hoping and hoping and hoping but i think the hope has to stop in like like you guys already said in the studio we have to start grinding we have to go back to that what made us strong we always knew that
we play bigger countries, it comes about like you put the heart and soul to the things, to the jersey, you have to fight, grind and all that stuff.
And then yes, you will have talent where you can maybe score and make your points and get out of situations.
But just to say like, oh, we want to play, we want to get there and do everything, it's not working, you know.
And then go back to Pochettino, that he talks about the details.
For me, it's then second goal yesterday against Portugal.
That's where's the standard coach to explain to guys, wait a minute, they block you maybe on the five and they play a long ball to the second, to the box.
And then, you know, you can see that there was a surprise.
You know, you can win games with standards and you can lose the games with standards.
