On what he expects from the market and his work in relation to the open session: “On the market we immediately did what we thought would give quality to the team. Ikoné and Piatek arrived, they gave us a lot. Now the club’s will is to listen to the needs of those who have fewer minutes. The goal is to improve the game. first round trying to always have that spirit and identity that we showed “.

On home and away performance: “The strength of the opponents must be considered, playing away from home is not easy. You cannot go everywhere to command.

I think the team is doing well, I am very happy with what we are managing to do. guys give positive answers. We mature, we grow, continuing to propose our mentality. We are not satisfied, we can improve in terms of goals conceded “

On Ikoné and Piatek: “They are doing great from a physical point of view. They are well trained, two serious professionals, but clearly they are not on par with their teammates in terms of knowledge. The understanding must improve. They are two players that we are happy to have. Ikoné is he took over twice and did well, Piatek the same. As the games develop, we can play it right, but there are still two serious players who push hard during training. They are two arrows of enormous value and quality that we have at our disposal.
