After yesterday's match with Armenia at Dublin's Aviva stadium,
Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni said his players
can handle whatever is thrown at them in the draw for the Euro 2012
play-off, AFP reported.
The Irish coach praised the Armenian players, considering their game
much better compared to Ireland.
"Armenia in the first half played very, very, very well and it was
very difficult to control the game," he said.
"They had more possession, yes, they played better than us, yes,
in the first half, but I don't remember any particularly difficult
situations for us."
Trapattoni's only disappointment was reportedly the red card which will
prevent Doyle from playing in the first leg of next month's play-off.
"I want to see it again. I immediately asked the linesman and he said
he had used his elbow. But that's not Kevin Doyle," Trapattoni said.
Armenia coach Vardan Minasyan congratulated the Irish team, wishing
it good luck in the play-off.
"You are a very good team, but I am very proud of my team. We have
done a very good job and we can be proud," he was quoted as saying.
