[spacer height=”20px”]“Secondly, I am a football player. My work is on the pitch, not in the office. The other things, they are too far from my hands. So, I think we have fantastic players, but, of course, always managers want to improve their teams, but it’s not my business. It’s something between the manager and the club.

[spacer height=”20px”]“I haven’t watched the manager’s media stuff, I never do. I cannot talk about how he is with you guys, because I never see that.

[spacer height=”20px”]“I can say that with us he is very positive, he wants us to fight for the titles, he wants us to perform to our best, he wants us to work as hard as possible.

[spacer height=”20px”]“But probably he’s not frustrated about the club or the market, he’s probably frustrated because he’s not able to work with the players that he’s going to have for the season.”[spacer height=”20px”]
