It would be very positive for this club. ”

A way of seeing football that I like a lot, so it’s easier for me to work with him. ”

The road is still long and we have to tackle things one at a time. We can certainly get to the bottom with the team we have. They are games where you have to manage time and try not to concede a goal, this is very important in competitions such as Champions League and Europa League, you have to be solid and take advantage of scoring chances. This is what allows you to move forward. You have to think about one game at a time , you don’t have to think that you can win it but that you can be eliminated.
