“I think it will be very similar to playing in a World Cup with our national teams, that kind of energy. Obviously we know how rare it is to participate in an event like this and it is a special moment.
“It is a prestigious competition and the teams involved make it as big as it can be. The fact that teams from all over the world have a real chance of winning it makes it all the more exciting. We really want to win it.
“Ultimately, you just want to win. Period. But it will be a different challenge, very similar to a classic World Cup for nations, because you will be facing teams from different continents, with completely different ways of seeing the game. The adaptation you will have to make will obviously be a fundamental part of the success.”
