He said after the game, as quoted by the FA's website:
"Looking forward, it depends always on the opponents, like what solutions they give us, what strength and weaknesses they have. We started with by studying our opponents; it was very difficult because they had a lot of new players coming in.
"It was really tough for us to get the formations. A lot of them were playing together in the team; they know each other in squad. We were very happy that things worked out and the way we scored the goals, we were very happy. We had a good start, this was important. It was easier for us to play than last time in the AFCON qualifiers."
