challenge convinced fight games good last players squad strong team trophy
My idea is to have two players for each position, ... If you have a strong squad you can play all the games with a good team. I am convinced we already have a better team than last season.

We will not say one trophy is more important than the other, because we now have a squad that can challenge in all competitions.
