“Yes, the first match is always important. It is a crucial moment to determine the next steps,” Olivieri said in a statement from the Kominfo U-17 World Cup media center team, Thursday (11 /09/2023).
The 52-year-old coach said that instead of being afraid, duels against big teams like Spain really motivated his players. They actually have a strong desire to resist.
“I think facing a good team in the first match can motivate the players. Moreover, it is an event like the World Cup and our young players are participating in it for the first time,” he said.
Olivieri stressed that his team had not prepared specific expectations for certain players. The reason is that the Spanish U-17 national team has many quality players that everyone should be wary of.
“In my opinion, there are several quality players in the Spanish U-17 national team and I don’t think I need to name the quality of each player one by one,” he said.
The tactician born on May 27, 1981 assured that his team had great ambitions to surprise Spain. They are ready to put up fierce resistance at the next meeting.
“And as I said earlier, it makes us clearer on what we need to do during the match. We know that full concentration will be crucial to compete with them,” concluded Olivieri.
