“But he respects the decisions I make and that's what I want to see.

“It's not trust in a negative way. But some of them are so keen to forget that they are hurt that they say ‘I am alright when they are not.

“It's a compliment. You want everyone to want to play. We have shown again recently that we have a fantastic mentality in the team, and these players are something special on the human front.”
