"With few games left, and playing every three days, you need a lot of concentration in everything you do: recovery, physical, in what we do in training … These are details at the end.

I hope it happens quickly. It is day to day, also for the issue of inconvenience. We know it is a strong blow and nothing else. We are with the doctors and physios and there are very competent people for that. It is a coup and it is a matter of days ”.
His relationship with the Belgian
“The worst thing for me is that a player cannot do his job on the field due to injury. There are many people here who help the player. It is his first year here and he wants to help the team and when he cannot do it he is not happy. I don't think he's afraid of injuring himself again. What he wants is to play. It is a problem for him and for everyone because we love him 100% and that nothing happens to him. I hope that soon it will come out of that. ”
