"It is really good to listen to that but he communicates to me continuously, occasionally through communication after games - but you know, I realize and the co-owner recognizes, that football is not like that," he stated.

"The crucial element is the next game. Despite having backers, you cannot control tomorrow in soccer."

"Yet concurrently, I'm not fond of it because it generates a sense that we have time to resolve issues. I don't wish for that impression in our club.

"The stress I place on the team or on myself is so much bigger [compared to external sources]. In the sport, especially in big clubs, you must demonstrate your worth every matchday."
