Herve Renard delivered a strong message to Tunisia's players before their World Cup clash with Japan, urging them to keep their heads up and play for the pride of representing their country after a difficult start to the tournament.
The French coach, who has only recently taken charge, said in his first remarks that he told the squad they must carry themselves with belief and show a response in the next match.
Renard's comments come at a highly sensitive moment following Tunisia's rapid coaching change, placing the focus squarely on how the team will react against a disciplined Japanese side.
