MEXICO CITY: Tunisia coach Herve Renard said his team’s 4-0 defeat by Japan at the World Cup in Monterrey on Saturday was painful, but reflected the dominance of the Asian side. Tunisia’s second straight loss in Group F eliminated them from the tournament.
“It is not the performance we were hoping for … The score of this second match is heavy, but it reflects the difference between the two teams tonight,” said Renard.
“Even if we are eliminated we still have a third game to play. We are in a World Cup, and we must remain focused. It is important to get ready to fight for this third game against the Netherlands.”
“It’s never easy after two losses in two games but we must take our responsibilities to be professionals to the very end.”
