I spoke to him and he apologised. He explained that he did not want to create any problems. "I will not punish him. I already know pretty much who I will play against Croatia. Pedro's comments do not change anything."This team is like a family. There is a good atmosphere and this will not change that. I don't think this will do any damage. "We have to bear in mind that there are always 12 players who are not in the starting XI. It is inevitable that some of them will be disappointed. Pedro spoke up and he has now apologised." Pedro featured for just eight minutes in the 1-0 win over Czech Republic, while he remained on the bench against Turkey.</blockquote>
