He also touched on the transfer of Artem Dovbyk.
"I still don't understand this Roma. It's chaotic—some players arrived earlier, others later, and they signed four players on the last day. They spent a lot of money. I would have spent €70 million differently. Not on two players, but on four or five. Dovbyk? A striker was needed, and finding a striker for less than €30 million is difficult nowadays."

If the standard we want to reach is to be the best, and we're not good enough to achieve that level, then we need to give our all. If we don't do at least that, it's all over.Читать полностью…
I can accept that we're not as strong as in 2018. I was the first to notice this, but there are other things that are unacceptable. I won’t say which. We have too many players in the defensive line. If we stay with six players in defense, we lose the connection. But it is what it is. It’s not about transitioning from defense to attack, but about people not fulfilling their duties."
