It is about saying that they will appear different things which he will need to deal with and manage and of course, he needs to know how to deal and learn how to deal with this new situation.

That is part of our job, as a coaching staff. That is the important thing. We need to help his environment. Him, but his environment also to understand how to deal.

We have the experience as a coaching staff to deal with things like this. Also the club needs to trust in our judgement and assessment. The clubs need to trust. If they do not trust in us, it is difficult to work.

It's difficult to say a guy that has scored 25 goals in the season. It's difficult to say, 'oh you need to run more', because he's doing perfectly his job in an offensive situation.

But it's true we are a coaching staff that we always demand more. 'Yes you score, but you need to work. Yes you score, but you need to run when we don't have the ball'. But he's doing well."
