Transcript

00:00 "Yesterday we trained part of the session with a dry high to adapt to feel it and after

00:07 we went to another with normal one, it's a massive difference. Massive. Massive. It's

00:18 another game. Another game. Here in England in 12 months, 10 is winter. It's raining,

00:29 it's not. But we're arriving in the early games of the season. The last in the season

00:34 is a part you have to think about it. The players we talk about, so guys, it's what

00:39 it is in 12.30. Tomorrow the game is 8pm, it's completely different than 12.30. So you

00:44 have to adapt. I saw the forecast, it's sunny tomorrow, sunny day in London, lovely city.

00:51 So you have to adapt in that situation and play another rhythm, another way. The passage

00:57 has to be stronger, faster, quicker. Control has to attack more the ball. So it's completely

01:04 different. It's not basketball. It's like you play Wimbledon or Roland-Garros. The surface

01:08 is different. Talk with the tennis players. So it's different. The speed of the ball is

01:13 different. So it's the same in football. Same one."
