I simply need to have a look at the larger image. Whenever you have a look at the place the crew was post-Europa League last. Six months on, to be sixth and 6 factors off the top-four locations, within the greater image, are you pleased with the progress the crew has made heading into 2026?
“I feel we’re enjoying higher when now we have the complete squad. It’s clear that we’re attacking higher. We’re not being ok within the particulars. We should always have extra factors within the second, however, after all, we wish at all times extra. We should always have extra factors within the desk.”

How tough is that this sport going to be?  “They’ve lots of tempo and, typically, we wrestle with tempo. They’re assured, however now we have proved we are able to win any sport in any scenario, in each context. So we’ll attempt to do this once more. We all know that they modify the system. They’ve totally different gamers in [the] entrance. They’ll as, the final sport, they rotated two gamers that normally are the starters. In order that they have good gamers, good supervisor, nice atmosphere. It will be a tricky sport.”
