Cape Verde Coach: With Organization, You Can Stop Even the Best

Cape Verde coach Bubista commented on his team's 0-0 draw with Spain in their World Cup debut.

"This means everything to my country. We wanted the world to see how our national team plays. We are resilient," Bubista stated.

"Vozinha's tears were from the emotions raging within him. This is the result of a very long and arduous effort. We defended excellently. Vozinha has been with us for many years, but I don't like to single out individual players. He was calm because the other players in front of him were working well."

Bubista also commented on the performance of the tournament's smaller teams: "We must congratulate the teams considered underdogs. They are working very well. Football is very balanced right now. Organization allows you to compete with the best. Spain had possession, but that doesn't mean they controlled the game. We would have liked to attack more, as we did towards the end of the match."

"The Spanish national team is fantastic. We can only be proud of what we achieved in our first World Cup match," the coach added.

"We are not losing our heads. Uruguay is a tough opponent, but we always believe in our style of play. We have three very challenging matches ahead, but we are brave. The draw against a team like Spain gives us even more stability and confidence. We know we can compete at this level, against such opponents. That's exactly what we wanted to prove," Bubista concluded.
