The key thing is knowing how to adapt. Adapting to the group that you have at your disposal; adapting to the place where you're working; adapting to the local environment. This is crucial: adaptability.
That's what international football is all about - be able to bounce after a bad performance.
It's not just about the words you use, but the way you use them, and the message that puts over. Also your face too and the way you project your message. If you're telling the group to stay calm, be good, and you have beads of sweat dripping down your forehead, you're in trouble.
To score three goals and not concede any is always interesting for a coach.
I'm not immune to disciplinary problems and it's up to me to make strong choices. It's my responsibility.

Sport is a way of uniting people.
It is always good to be careful or vigilant.
