Planning for the rest of the season: “We’ve always been in the rhythm of playing every three days, with the whole squad involved. You said we’ve used 18 or 19 players who could feel like starters, and that can now be affected by the schedule. We’re only going to play once a week, with more time to train, and we have to be very precise about the areas we want to improve without overloading the players. I’m convinced that everyone feels so much a part of this group that, whatever decisions I make, 99.99% of them will involve 11 starting players and five coming on, so 16 players will be involved. This is not a time for anyone to complain; they have to think about making the most of the minutes they are going to have, not the ones they won’t have because of my decision. We have a group that is mature enough to understand that and to approach these final weeks with the spirit that is needed for us to achieve our goal.”
