Pocognoli on 'special' Hampden night, fan support & Switzerland test
Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has been speaking to the media before Scotland host Switzerland in the Nations League on Tuesday - live on the BBC. Here are some of his key points: It will be a "special moment" for him - his first night at Hampden - and he has been looking forward to it since he became head coach of the national team. He says the Scotland fans will reflect what they see on the pitch on Tuesday. He believes if Scotland are brave they will have the Tartan Army's support, but he also wants that backing to be there in challenging moments. Reflecting on the Slovenia match on Saturday, he says the defenders and goalkeeper were happy as they kept a clean sheet. On the failure to score and the chances missed, he admits it is only "one game" and adds that "it's not a concern". He says the onus to get goals is not just on the strikers and that "they can create chances from other areas". He says it will take time, but the Slovenia game showed many of the things they have been working on. On Switzerland, he describes them as "tough opposition" but says it is "fantastic to play against this kind of opponent". He adds that they have a lot of good young players coming through. On his approach, he says nothing will change despite the opponents. He still wants to be "aggressive and take control of the game if they can", and he "believes this team" can play like this. On his squad, he says everyone is fit and that over the four games he wants to find a balance between getting results and seeing a different approach on the pitch.
