We have to look for this, the opponent is to be respected but we we must think only of doing better than the last few games.

And even whoever enters will be the one who will give me more guarantees. We must overcome this moment which is not what we wanted. For a year we have been among the best for home performance, this team-fan union must continue. We must all suffer together, the coach is the first fan and the first to suffer. In these situations it is the most important thing to do ".

What did you work on this week?
