Coach Safet Susic and captain Edin Dzeko held a press conference today in Zenica, ahead of a qualifying match against Belgium.

When asked about lineup, Susic said he won't be releasing it today and added: "We'll do our best on Monday. It won't be easy because Belgium has a better team than Wales, but we'll try to win. They had an easier match last week, and they can even go for one point tomorrow. That's not an ideal scenario for us, however a draw wouldn't be a bad outcome. But in the end we won't back down and defend ourselves. The match will be difficult for sure, but we've had worse before. If we end up with only one point after three matches, that will be a failure. I don't know who counted on six points from two matches, we didn't, but we have to recover those lost points somehow."

Captain Edin Dzeko mentioned the rest of the team is not so happy with the performance in Wales, but pointed out that the only bad thing that's happened for our team is loss against Cyprus and added: "That loss could be the key, but also it doesn't have to be, everything is on us now. One point against Wales wasn't bad. We were better, but the ball just wouldn't go into the net, perhaps that will change tomorrow against Belgium."

He know's Belgium's captain well: "Kompany and I know each other well, I consider him to be the best defender in England, and one of the best in the World. It will be interesting playing against him. I don't know if knowing him that well is an advantage or not, but I will do the best I can."

How much our team knows their players?

"I think everyone from our team knows their players pretty well. They watch on the TV how many of them play, and my teammates know they have one of the best teams in the World. They've been in the big rush for a while, especially after the World Cup", said Dzeko.
