'Iceland are still dreaming big' - Hallgrimsson

Friday, July 01 2016 by SNTV
  • Iceland joint-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said on Thursday he hopes his players can keep improving as they have done throughout Euro 2016 when they take on hosts France in the quarter-finals.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Heimir Hallgrimsson, Iceland joint-coach:

    "Yeah, yeah, I know you've been seeing all the Icelandic games up until now and I think you can agree with me that we have been playing better and better throughout the competition so hopefully our best game is yet to come. And like you were asking, we're really proud of the players because they seem to be growing every game we play so let's hope we will continue growing in every game we have left in the competition."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Heimir Hallgrimsson, Iceland joint-coach:

    "The French team? There's a lot of strength in the French squad. Of course they have players that are playing in key roles in the best teams in the world and when you have these kind of players in your team, you can only have a good team. So individual qualities, number one, they have a lot of speed, players good at shooting the ball from outside, they have dribblers, they have (Olivier) Giroud up front who is good in the air so I guess they are good at almost everything."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Heimir Hallgrimsson, Iceland coach (on whether he's still dreaming big):

    "Ah, of course you dream big. And if you don't think big and dream big, you never get anywhere. So of course you dream big but we are realistic. Like I said before, we can play our best game of our lives and still lose against a nation like France."
