Hans Andrias Midjord, Head Coach of Faroe Islands: Our strength is counterattack, but in this game our players were a little bit nervous, because Serbia is a tough nation. We are 50 000 and they are 7 million, so our players were thinking too much about what was going to happen. I think it was a good start, even though we didn’t score any goals in the first half by counterattack. We should work more to do better in the next match.
