What They're Saying

His understanding with [Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez] is marvelous. His goal [against the Netherlands] is of great quality and he put in great effort. We asked the forwards to win back the ball and both of them did it. It was great work. Today we modified the team's setup. We played with a different system and the team did it very well. There's a lot to correct. We have to work."
