“A lot of positive things”
“It’s a typical preseason game and I think there’s a lot of good things about what we are looking foradmitted the former coach of FC Barcelona. These are matches that allow players to improve physically and tactically, to get used to things that are a little different. I think it’s good to give players minutes and to try to strengthen the team. There are still a lot of changes.”
