Republic of Ireland manager believes players are capable of beating Netherlands by remaining composed under pressure and performing with conviction.
David Sneyd STEPHEN KENNY INSISTS his players know exactly what they have to do in order to secure “our best victory yet” during his time as manager.
“It’s a different game tactically to France,” Kenny said in his pre-match press conference at FAI headquarters. “We know a victory is important for us, how important it is. That’s where it is. We’ll prepare well, as well as we can and make sure we’re ready. The players are clear on how we’re going to play and we’ll certainly be tested against this team.
“It’s a great game: Sunday night in Dublin, the anticipation, it’s a sellout. People are excited about the game. It has an edge to it,” Kenny added. “Holland has a great tradition. They’ve had great teams; they had a strong World Cup and lost on penalties to Argentina. “We’re not comparing ourselves to the team of 2001, they had some of the best players to ever play for Ireland. We’re an emerging team. We’ve shown a capacity to raise our game in front of our own support, our passionate sport, we’ve put in some very good performances at home there.
