We will give everything and during the game we will definitely give more than we think. We are on the cusp of achieving something historic.”
And about his opinion about Kamaving, he said: “I think that Kama is fine and that he will train well with us.

Even if he doesn’t like playing there, he’s a guy who plays well wherever you put him.

There is no difference. Nowadays, they probably pay more attention to social networks, which used to be few. Times change.”
He explained his injury against Girona: “My physical condition and my health are very important to me and when I got injured I wanted to do everything in my power to play in those matches. I still remember 2015, when I got injured before the matches between Atlético and Juventus. I tried to do something different on the advice of some friends and came back early.
