I am overjoyed to have qualified for the WC and even happier to win in front of our fans. I landed in Croatia on Thursday, received a call on Friday. Everything happened very quickly, thanks to the coach and the coaching staffsaid Musa after the match for Nova TV.
He added: It’s a big difference after two years without a national team. I have a much more important role in the club. America has good infrastructure, all are big stadiums and good conditions. Air conditioning? It depends on the state, I hope we choose well and I’m looking forward to it.
