Interviewed by Benetton TV he told how the work done was progressive, with several tests for the physical part in the opening but also some space in the oval, but always without forgetting fitness. There isn’t much room for detail and synergy on the pitch at the moment, but the focus is more on the volume and quantity of the work.
