Now there are new players coming, full of enthusiasm and passion, and clear about the legacy left by our predecessors for this club since 15 years ago, and hope everyone can adapt to the club's needs as soon as possible. We will work accordingly...I hope they can adapt to the needs of the club. We also have to continue to focus on the market and see if there will be players leaving or joining. From then on, we will work hard every day to dig out the best from everyone, and I will try to help them get better, and they can also help the team better. "

What it feels like after 14 years of coaching

"I am very happy, I still feel happy where I like, and I still maintain the energy I need to hold this position. I am very clear about the various consequences that will be encountered in this position ——Okay, average, and even bad.”

Expectations for the investment of the lineup

"We always look forward to the best results, but we must adhere to our consistent principles - fight one by one, not deviate from this attitude, and strive to grow. The team has made great progress over the years, but the team still needs to continue to improve at the same level. In recent years, the team has grown faster than the club, and then the club has caught up with the team, and then the club has surpassed the team again. Now, the team We need to take a step further to catch up with the club's current development status. "

About the younger generation of the lineup

"We will always strive to explore their strengths, show their best side, and make them serve the team's game style. Of course, opponents will sometimes give you room to play, sometimes not, which is part of the game. "

Where will change the way of playing after the arrival of new players? "Changes are always good, as long as they meet the needs. We are here The goal is to improve, not necessarily 'change', but it is definitely to improve those places that can still be improved. "Is the lineup difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona

"I wouldn't be so hasty to draw conclusions, saying that we are better or worse than others. Reality is the performance on the court. All those who come are important players, but you must prove yourself in the game. We will eventually get the position we deserve on the court. "

Is there a breakthrough player missing?" Perhaps, The traits of broken players are found in Almada, Baenna or Alvarez, and their playing style has this ability. In addition, we also have many midfielders and forwards, such as Sollot, Griezmann, Alvarez and Laspadori, who can bring us depth and different characteristics. After the lineup is finally confirmed, we will try our best to play to each person's best skills."

Rumors about Miami game

"We will often take responsibility in life Something that might happen, but often doesn't happen in the end. A year ago we were worried about going there to play with Barcelona, but we spent our energy in vain and nothing happened in the end. "

's view on the game in Miami

" In the end, of the hundred things we expected, maybe only twenty of them really happened. We should focus on what's happening right now."

About Baena's position

"I understand his recent games The game performed very well, and he would probably start from that position (second striker). He can also play on the right and left, but I don't treat him as a winger, I prefer to let him play on the second striker, or roam on the left and right. We will try to play to his strengths and consider what is best for the team. We will observe further during the season progress. Laspadori just arrived, and Sollot didn't train for a week and only practiced together in the final stage, so we think it's more appropriate to continue the idea of warm-up matches."
