There was a ton in the video game, there was a probability of shortening distances to Champions League positions, there was the risk of remaining additional stable for the Europa League positions struggle.
“I believed in the evolution of the group and I considered that by a wish issue of perspective, they set additional than us. Which is something that disturbs me.

“[It is his] hamstring. Which is a thing that he experienced issues with in the past, in previous seasons, even in the commencing of the year.
