2022 World Cup draw - who said what

 Who said what at the draw for the 2022 World Cup on Friday:

  "We have negative memories, but something like that doesn't happen to us twice."  -- Germany goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer on being drawn with fellow former champions Spain. The Spanish thrashed Germany 6-0 in a Nations League match in November 2020.

  "You can see clearly that Germany have improved. They are going through a period of renewal but we are Spain, seventh in the world, and we want to beat everyone in the world."

  -- Spain coach Luis Enrique

  "It is the same handicap for everyone. It means we think the players will arrive fresher than at a normal World Cup, in better shape physically and in footballing terms. The lack of time is a handicap, but no team will have much time."

  -- Luis Enrique on having just eight days between domestic leagues breaking up and the World Cup starting

  "For us, we're in on day one so it's quite clear now what our programme looks like for the end of the Premier League season and getting out here as quickly as possible."

  -- England manager Gareth Southgate, whose side face Iran on the opening day of the tournament on November 21, just eight days after the final round of Premier League games before the international break.

  "I advise you (France) to also prepare because we have a very good team and we will be ready to fight."

  -- Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand on facing the defending champions.

  "A very demanding group, different styles, different ingredients but probably what we need if we want to be ready for this World Cup. And then the draw probably splits -- the first four groups, they have fewer top-10 teams facing each other, then the next four groups is probably final after final after final, so probably the final could be the least like a final. But that's how draws work."
