IZJAVE NAKON SUSRETA NIZOZEMSKA - MAROKO

ORLANDO, 29. lipnja (Hina) - Nakon susreta F skupine Svjetskog nogometnog prvenstva između Nizozemske i Maroka (2:1), izjave su dali izbornici obje reprezentacije: Dick Advocaat, selektor Nizozemske: "Velika vručina onemogučila je bolju igru moje momčadi. Ne govorim to radi opravdanja za neefikasnu igru, ali teško je igrati u takvim uvjetima. Pokušavali smo stvarati prilike za pogodak i ja sam zadovoljan prikazanim, kao i činjenicom da smo prvoplasirani u svojoj skupini, što znači da ostajemo u Orlandu. Ohrabrujuće je to što igramo protiv Irske, koja će također imati problema s visokom temperaturom." Abdellah Ajri Blinda, selektor Maroka: "Razočaran sam. Odigrali smo danas dobru utakmicu i nismo zaslužili poraz. Zadovoljan sam igrom svojih igrača unatoč porazu i nepovoljnom plasmanu u grupi. Prvenstvo smo odigrali protiv objektivno kvalitetnijih momčadi, ali ipak nismo gubili velikom razlikom." (Hina) iv iv Dutch trainer Dick Advocaat said the intense heat had disturbed his team's play. "I don't want to use it as an excuse but playing under these conditions is very difficult indeed," he said. "We tried to keep possession as much as possible and look for goal chances but, because of the heat, we didn't create many. "We're pleased to finish top of our group even if that means we stay in Orlando. But at least Ireland (the next opponents) are another European team and they will have the same problems as us." Advocaat said Saudi Arabia's win over Belgium had shown the Arab side was a good team and indicated why the Dutch had also found it hard to beat them. "We've been criticised but we came first in the group and we won two matches. Not many countries at this World Cup have done that," he said. Moroccan coach Abdellah Ajri Blinda said the third defeat in a row for his team was disappointing. "We didn't deserve to lose today," he said. "We played a good match. "Despite the results, we've had a good tournament. We didn't lose by big margins and a good team with a strong future emerged." REUTER 1931 290694 GMT 292256 MET jun 94 292256 MET jun 94
