Francesco Farioli was asked about the spirits in which he found Samu after he underwent surgery in Madrid. The coach said he is pleased with how the player is facing this serious injury. "He returned a few days ago. It's very good to have him back with us and not just communicate with him through phone calls or video. It's nice to see him here, to see him with his teammates. Today, we were on the field working and I saw Luuk cycling outside the field and Samu next to him. Seeing two players like them on the sidelines gives us that bad feeling, but the truth is they are here with a good smile and good energy. That's what the team needs. It's good to have them here, all of us together. The unity of the group has been one of the most fundamental aspects of this team," he said.
