Barbarez: “The trip went well, as did today’s training before that. Everyone’s healthy. I always say we became footballers and coaches for matches like this, so we should enjoy and look forward to it.”

On tactical ideas he added: “Let’s leave that for tomorrow. The most important thing is to react to situations and the score. That’s why we have 23 players. It’s important to be brave and have the will. We have our plan, our idea, and we believe it will be successful. The match could go to 120 minutes and penalties.”

Katić: “There’s always talk about playoffs, but it doesn’t affect us much. Many players are here for the first time. This team is much stronger than some earlier ones and we believe in ourselves.”

He continued: “The atmosphere in the team is excellent and we’re fully focused on achieving a positive result. We’ve analyzed the opponent in detail, they’re a quality team with lots of individual potential. I wouldn’t single out individuals, because a demanding match awaits us. We’ve worked a lot with our analysts, so we’re well aware of all threats we’ll face.”

The Wales vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina match is scheduled for tomorrow at Cardiff City Stadium at 19:45 local time (20:45 CET).
