‘We just have to keep our feet on the ground, we’ve always believed in ourselves. We’ve always known we could go far. It’s normal when you have ambition and want to be a top country or a top club or a top footballer. The expectation comes and you just have to perform. UFABET  Even if you’re expected to win, you have to do it and move forward.’

Danso also spoke about meeting Turkey again after the previous friendly in March. ‘It will be a very different game. In the friendly (win) 6-1 we played really well. We look back at the game, we are analysing them. There are many things to improve and if we can do that it will be a good game. As long as we play the way we are, as a team full of confidence, we will win the game. ‘

Also spoke highly of boss Ralf Rangnick, saying: ‘(He’s) someone who is passionate about football and everything that comes with it, a real professional. From the outside you just don’t know it. You see a lot of his tactics and what he brings to football, his philosophy with the gegenpressing, which a lot of teams try to copy.’

‘But if you don’t know him personally, you don’t know how much he’s invested. And he’s not going to spare any effort to make sure he’s in the best possible shape and we’re in the best possible shape to play.’
