“Everyday I try to run, to keep fit,” he said.

This league is very difficult; Every game anything can happen, you can win or lose. It’s important to give continuity, to trust in the work.”

“Now there are five teams very close, but we shouldn’t look at the table. We must be focused on the work on the training pitch and take it game-by-game, step-by-step,” he added.

“It’s important to improve and trust in the work, these are the most important things.”
