“We have three La Liga games left and we can not slip up”, he said.

“When we play every three days it’s always hard but everyone plays and everyone delivers, and that’s the best thing about this team”.

“The players show me every day that they understand the situation, they are fighting for every game, every minute. I won’t be changing the system”. “We put some pressure on them”. This year we’ve been a lot more confident away.
