荷蘭主教練范巴斯滕——我們打入了16強我們感到很興奮。這是一個令人難以置信的死亡之組。我們擁有一支非常年輕的球隊，任何一支球隊都可以出線，但我們對於出線感到加倍的高興。這支隊伍的很多球員都是第一次參加世界盃，他們在上半場表現的很好，創造了很多機會，但是在科特迪瓦攻進一球後我們有所放鬆。這之後我們看到當我們讓他們放開的打時他們是多麼的優秀。實際上他們在下半場表現的太好了，我們根本無法進攻只能是防守。不得不説我們還有大量的工作要做，但是首要的工作就是出現和擊敗阿根廷隊。

　　科特迪瓦主教練亨利.米歇爾----很明顯我們很失望。我們一直知道這個小組的比賽會很艱難，但是我們希望我們能從比賽中獲得點東西。我們這兩場比賽的過程基本上是一樣的。我們不得不面對兩個失球來比賽，我們在兩場比賽中都沒有能夠戰勝我們的對手。面對著強隊翻盤總是很困難的。在世界盃賽場上，你必須要製造更多的機會來贏得比賽。我們不得不承認我們還沒有達到我們所想要的高度。這是一支毫無世界盃經驗的新隊伍，但是我確信我們可以應對壓力。我們只是缺少經驗。我們太緊張是可能的，這是我們需要坐下來要研究的。

　　We're delighted we've made it through to the last 16. It's an incredibly tough group and we have a very young team. Any of the teams could have made it, but we're just overjoyed about getting through. A lot of my players are contesting their first World Cup. We were very good for the first half-hour and created any number of chances, but we eased off after C?te d'Ivoire scored their goal. After that, we all saw how good they are if you let them play. In fact, they were so good in the second half, we had no option but to defend. You have to say we still have a lot of work to do, but the first job is to go out and beat Argentina.

　　Henri MICHEL (CIV)

　　Obviously we're disappointed. We always knew it would be tough, but we hoped to get something from the game. The pattern's basically been the same in both our matches. We've been forced to chase a two-goal deficit, because on both occasions we've been unable to contain our opponents. It's always going to be difficult turning it around against class sides like these. And when you're at the World Cup, you've got to make more of the chances that come your way. We have to accept we're not yet where we want to be. This is a new team with no experience of the World Cup, but I do believe we can cope with the pressure. We simply lack experience. It's possible we were too nervous, that's something we'll have to sit down and analyse.
