I am happy to play against Italy. It's a big team. I've wanted to play Italy.

If we lose against the Faeroes, the Ireland match will no longer be decisive. It will just be a friendly. I'm not saying the Faeroe Islands are Brazil, but you have to beat them to play a worthwhile match in Ireland.

It's not a duel one against the other. I look at the quality and what they can do on the field. Then it's who is in form at the right moment. We have two great goalkeepers and eventually you have to choose.

Against Cyprus, it's simple: we have to score. I think three goals more than the Swiss if the Swiss win in Ireland.
