• We don't need help from officials to win football matches. Games are won through hard work, unity, talent, and, of course, God's blessing.
• I'm not here to convince anyone or to respond to every accusation. People are free to have their own views. Our job is simply to go out there, give everything for our country, and let our football do the talking.
