Lemerre laments lack of self-confidence
Published in FilGoal on 15 - 06 - 2006

Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre said his side should have maintained their lead after the first goal, following a 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia in the World Cup Group H match that took place on Wednesday.
"We don't feel like we have opened the door," Lemerre was quoted as saying by Sky Sports after the match.
"We weren't very assured. While the first goal gave us a boost, it was not enough," the former France coach added.
Ziad Jaziri scored a goal and dished out an assist to help Tunisia hold Saudi Arabia to a 2-2 draw in their World Cup Group H match on Wednesday.
Jaziri put Tunisia up front after 23 minutes but his goal was cancelled out by a Yasser Al-Qahtani equalizer in the 57th minute.
Veteran striker Sami Al-Jaber came of the bench to grab the lead for the Saudis in the 84th minute before a last gasp header from Radhi Jaidi put the Tunisians at level.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia skipper Al-Jaber said he is disappointed at the last-gasp equalizer by Tunisia.
"We were unlucky to let a goal in one minute before the end. Now we have one point. It is not the end of the competition for us. We have to work hard against Ukraine," he said.
The Arab counterparts now share second place in Group H on one point each, two points behind leaders Spain who crushed Ukraine 4-0 earlier on Wednesday.
