Nothing worries me. The players want to succeed together. They compete, sometimes in their performance. We have great champions, with personality, ego. But we have a very nice locker room. I understand and accept the discrepancy between what you perceive and what I experience. But the reality of the locker room is not like that at all.”

And when he acts, he is happy, ”he deepened about the Brazilian.
