In the last six games we’ve played, let’s go 4-2. We have many games ahead of us. I am completely focused. “My priority is to stay healthy”. Although true to himself, he did not miss the opportunity to leave doors open… throwing the ball into others’ court: “My plan is to stay here for the rest of my career. If they don’t want me… I’m not the one in charge. I’m an employee”.
