We finished fourth in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League, เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย but the last two months we struggled. This year I want something different. “
We have to be 100 per cent focus. With full energy, physically strong. And players can play several matches in a row. We have about 20 players ready to play in different competitions now.
“If someone is tired after 60 or 70 minutes. We have a substitute player who can come on and do well. Sometimes in the first half of the season we lack players like that.”
