00:00How was the international break for you Enzo? We were reading reports last week that you were so unhappy with some of the training here on Wednesday that you cancelled the players day off on Thursday, is that right?
00:10Yeah, but it's nothing, you know, since I joined the club I always demand for high standards.
00:18International break, no official game, not many players here, you know, the day after off, sometimes it's normal to be a little bit relaxed,
00:27but because I don't allow this, so we decide the day after to train, but it's not nothing, nothing strange or nothing new,
00:36it's, you know, as I said, international break, not official game, not many players here, they are training here every day, every day, every day without any official game,
00:46and then we play just a game between us and second team, and we decide that, we take that decision.
00:54Even so, with nine games left, how important is it that the players now give absolutely everything over the remaining months of the season?
01:01No, yeah, but since day one they are giving everything, fantastic, the attitude, the behaviour has always been top, you know, every game, every game, every day,
01:11and even in the last three, four days in the last week, because they know how important it is from now on,
01:18even if I think this already starts from four, five games, you know, in the last 12, 13, 14 games, every game become important,
01:27and now, as you said, we have nine games to go, and hopefully we can finish where we are in this moment.
