Regarding what he wants to see more of in the team, he stated: “Stay in the game longer. In the second half, I think we lost a bit of structure and then it's a domino effect. There are definitely things to improve. The way we play is physically and mentally demanding because there are many decisions to make, the players are very exposed to duels, contacts, making decisions under pressure. Overall, I am very satisfied with the team and what the players are doing, on game day but especially during the week.”
As for the referee's criteria? “I said yesterday that I would like to avoid talking about the referees, but… I was a bit afraid of the dynamics. When that affects the decisions you have to make in the game… If we go at this pace with cards, by the sixth or seventh week we have someone suspended. I don't think that's what we deserve.”
