It is a field that has always been tough, a rival whose way of playing is important, with pressure all over the field. The coach is convinced of what he is doing, he always improves the quality of the game. They have improved on that, and it will be a game where we have to take it to the place where we think we can do harm ”.

“He arrived a few days ago, he is working, trying to join the group. He has Kondogbia, Carrasco or Lemar who come to him to translate and to get the information quickly.

“I am very respectful of your question, but we did not think about this.”
Joao Félix, how is his ankle and what is he asking now
“The same thing that I always ask of him, to be inserted in the group and competitive as he is. In the last matches she has not had to start and she has handled it in the best way, being important for the group, when she came in showing her talent and quality, that the team needs her. In its best state, it will create many opportunities for us to continue on the team's offensive line ”.
