I also asked my team to think how it would be most comfortable for them and the thoughts came at some stage when there were injured and missing players and we found ourselves adapting to opponents, such as Marseille, Ajax and Maccabi Haifa. We will have to find solutions with the existing squad. The idea is how to use Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, who are every coach's dream. The most important thing is for them to be comfortable."

Their coach organizes them and it was not A case where they pressed us in the first half in Haifa and complicated us. They could beat Juventus away from home and this shows the quality of the coach's game management and the quality of the players who can adapt to the high levels. Sheri is very strong and technical, can score from a distance. Azili is very effective in front of the goal and we will have to be careful".
