Good afternoon, everyone. First of all I want to apologize for the disastrous match this afternoon facing us to Portugal. The only positive we can draw is that we have overcome the barrier of 100 points, but nevertheless my decision when choosing the defense has been a burden too great for our kids. We leave the game with an income of points against it do not help much to our aspirations against rivals our level, but we still believe in our ability to not be the last.
Moreover, although maybe I should not say publicly, because of being a rookie in being coach of a national team, I've made the mistake of calling off to players in order to observe others, and that has penalized us about enthusiasm points. But the mistakes we learn, nobody said this was going to be easy, we know that to achieve what we have to give our best and we strive every Monday. I hope your help in order to keep the players in shape and enhance them the strength to not lower their level in the last quarter as happened today.
Finally, I must say I am looking forward to the U21 should start working as young promising start to become what we expect from them. The next season we already have one or two young promises that are being trained by coaches who are giving everything for the cause and it definitely deserves the award for his work.
Greetings to all
The coach of the national team of Malta
Luis Bullock
