00:00 Being a favorite outsider is the mental side that will prevail.
00:08 We saw it during the World Cup.
00:12 We saw that the French team that we played against had an excess of desire and motivation, which is logical.
00:21 We have a new status in Africa, we have a new status even in the world.
00:24 We are in the top 15 in the world for a year.
00:27 I think that we have adapted.
00:31 For me, for a coach or for a country, it is always pleasant to have a winning team
00:41 that we can say that we will win the 2004 World Cup.
00:48 On the contrary, it is a new status that we need because in the years to come,
00:51 we will be a nation that will always be among the favorites or the ones that we can beat.
00:56 It is a competition where we can play and show that we can handle the pressure.
01:03 We are a balanced group, with experienced players and young players who have a future in the national team.
01:12 I think that there will be no worries. We will adapt to this new status.
