““Apart from the talent and the capacity that our players have to have these performances and win games and keep our team in that mode, is that they trust us. I think that’s a big reason. The tactical discipline that we have had in the last two or three games has been first-class. And when you sense that the team believes in the idea and you see it on the field, then you have a big chance to win games. But you have to have that quality of the players and also that mentality that they are developing within. You guys follow them, and you see that this group, they love each other, and I have the fortune to coach them. We will keep pushing.”
