Edin Terzic never tires of emphasizing how important preparation is for his team. This is especially true for one player: Sébastien Haller. Terzic prescribed extra rest for the Frenchman, because Haller has had an insane rollercoaster year.

The decision to slowly bring Haller up to full physical exertion was made consciously, “because he had an emotional and exhausting year and no winter break. What happened was very taxing on his body and mind.”
