Higuita: ''Every step is important before the World Cup.''

- It always feels good to win. One more step forward towards our dream. We’ve had three weeks of really hard training. Thank God no one has been injured. Only Albert feels a little bit unwell. It happens, because the training was very intense.

Now there is a high competition in the national team, and this fact pleases me. You can get into the team only through overcoming yourself. There are only 14 places in the final application, and everyone realizes it. Young players such as Akzhol, Rinat and Torekhan are fighting for their places in the team and want to go to the World Cup.

The opponent made us nervous. But the game went according to plan. Before the World Cup every training session and every match is important. Every step is important before the World Cup.

The fact that we have not conceded a single goal is the result of teamwork.
