"It's always a positive experience to be part of the national team. You represent your country on the international stage. You always have to give your best. We will try to win and get six points in these two matches."
On the Luxembourg national team:
"We watched and analysed the opponent. I can say that they are a good team, trying to play football. I can't reveal all the cards, but I can say that they don't always kick the ball forward like Northern Ireland. They try to pass the ball, but they have their own mistakes and problems in defence."
On the preparation for the matches against Luxembourg and England:
"Everyone is ready. Both Luxembourg and England are two difficult opponents, we will give 100 per cent. It will be a very difficult match [against Luxembourg]. As Unai said, it is more important than England at the moment. After Luxembourg, we will think about England."
On a potential call-up to the national team:
"It will be the coach's decision. I know that the system is the same, the structure is the same - it is transferred from the national team and the youth team, everything is the same. I'm just working to get into the national team, but it will be the coach's decision."
On personal goals:
"The main thing is for the team to win. I don't think about goals, only about winning. But we'll see, I'll try to score."
