“We see the quality, competence and clear structure of the work that is performed here every day. We have a clear picture of how we want to play football and how the team should develop,” said Christiansen, who points to the turbulent summer.
“We cannot forget that almost everything has changed: a new head coach, a new technical staff, many new players and many departing players. That makes the complex statement.”
