”It’s always good when a player smiles, but not every day is the same.
Everyone is worried about him, but he played in a World Cup after an injury.
He’s had three weeks of vacation.
He’s played two matches; the first one maybe wasn’t his best, but I’m happy because he gives us more, he creates opportunities… against Athletic he played the full 90 minutes, I saw him at his best.
He’s on the right track.

Today [in training] he was excellent. He’s on the right track. We have to support him, and I’m going to do it.”
