Erling has been, is and will be very important for us. We have to try to do things better, use it better“added the Catalan, who in the last twelve games has had nine defeats, two draws and just one win.
The coach citizen He stressed that his players are “running, trying harder than ever.” “The whole tendency is because we don’t run, because we don’t fight, the reason is this situation or this player or this coach… It’s not about that, there are many small details or big details that make us as a whole not so good as we were, but we have another chance on Boxing Day“, he expressed.
