“I have tried to forget that they were there. If you ask me if I liked the experience, I already say no. I don't like the feeling of being in Big Brother but I have tried to forget they were there and I think I have succeeded most of the time. I have no idea what has come out and I'm not worried either. Nothing there is a lie, it is real. I think it had to be great for them because they had the day-to-day life of a club, a dressing room, I think they have everything and it's very real. No one has acted. Everything will turn out as it has happened. If I go to see him? No, it is not something I want to see because I know better than anyone what has happened there every day but I think it can be very interesting for people who love soccer and sports. It will be great for them, “said the coach at a press conference.
