I expect we will be able to announce his signing very soon, hopefully before the season starts. But I see no problem.
difficult moment players prefer talk work
I would prefer to work with the players I have at the moment and it's difficult to talk about hypotheses.
confidence favorites good maybe milan players
I have a lot of confidence in the team, maybe Milan are favorites -- they have a lot of good players -- but we have confidence and we can win.
finish game goalkeeper goals halftime happy performance played players team third
I am happy with the performance of the team but we should have scored more goals and their goalkeeper played very well. I told the players at halftime to finish the game off but we couldn't get the third goal.
gone hear heard official pity
Always it is a pity to hear such things, but the UEFA official has heard and it has gone in his report.
clean game goal good kept relaxed second team
The two forwards scored in this game which is good for the team. The second goal relaxed the team and it's important that we kept a clean sheet.
hope maybe
Maybe they are afraid. I hope they will be after the weekend.
attack bad choose clear players quality
If you look at the players they have in their team, it's clear that they are not a bad team. They have a lot of quality to choose from and they attack with pace.
afterwards players
The players said to me afterwards 'yes, it was clear',
depends maybe sign
Who else I sign depends on the market, maybe one, maybe two more,

We need to wait for another opinion but I am positive and I hope he will be in training soon.
game good
We could have scored a lot more goals, it was a good game for us,
central centre forward thinking trying
We have a lot of strikers now and I am not thinking about another centre forward now, only trying to find a new central defender.
