We have two and a half years to work, it’s a long time, but if we only believe in the World Cup, we will stumble on the first stoneIt’s today and the message to players who come is to get involved. I don’t see it as a pressure, you have to win even in the shells and if we transmit this competitiveness it will be natural to go out and win ”.
