Out of 100 Games, we lose 99, but ...

Gibraltar has played in its history, 27 EM and world Cup qualifying games – and 27-time lost 7:128 gates. Recently there was a 0:6 in Denmark, but no defeat can deprive players the pleasure. Lee Casciaro is one of them, already 38, but prior to the completion of the EM-campaign 2020, he says, "is Resigned to us never an Option."

do you Believe that you can make with your colleagues the Swiss effort?
Why not? If we go to the square, we have ambitions, as always, the opponent is also. We never occur with the setting: it doesn't matter if we lose.

How do you imagine the ideal Monday night?
We long to hold the 0:0, or maybe it is after 60, 70 minutes, only 0:1. The longer the result is relatively scarce, the more likely, Switzerland could be a bit nervous. Even if they are all professionals, who are – unlike us – accustomed to riding within the space of 72 hours two of the games best. And, you know, only in special conditions.

to what Extent?
We are used to playing on artificial turf, and this floor allows for a quick game. This is a first advantage for us. In addition, we cope with the very special, unpredictable wind conditions are good – some guests had no joy in it. It would be nice if we could offer our viewers the completion of the qualification, this is something you remember for a long time. Of 100 Games against Switzerland, we will probably lose 99. But once we could surprise you.

Under what conditions?
If we caught the best day of our lives – and the Swiss, you can imagine the worst, the.

a Sensation it probably needs a post from you. They are three matches currently Gibraltar's record goalscorer.
As a striker it is my Job to score goals. In our League the is easier than with the national team. But I'd like to on the record, when we win an important game. I'm going to try my speed to play. And to win a bet.

What is it about?
I am the fastest in our Team. A measurement in the game against Georgia resulted in a top speed of 35,76 km/h without the Ball on the foot. Now I want to crack the 36-km/h limit.

With whom you have a bet and what?
With coach Julio Ribas and team-mate Joseph Chipolina. If I win, each of you needs to invite the two to dinner. And otherwise, I'm the one who accepts the bill.

the 0:6 Hits from the last Friday in Denmark, you and your team-mates not on the morality in that?
no. Low are not uncommon for us Yes, for us, the Resignation is never an Option. But we are angry because we have made the Danes to many gifts. We just can't afford it. In the first half, we defended very well and only conceded one goal allowed. After the break, we were unfortunately careless. However, I think we did as Amateurs in this qualification, a total respectable.

How the week goes for you after the game against Switzerland?
With work. I was in the night of Wednesday service in the military police. Then, each of us returns back to its normal everyday work.
