“I’m going step by step and now it’s time to go back to training and then it’s back to the game. Now I’m back to training, how long will this step take? I don’t know. I can say you 6 weeks, but maybe 5 I’m ready to play or I’ll tell you 12 and in the end it’s more time. I’ll be back.”

“I felt good, where I left off in January. It’s good to get together before training to really know what we want to be and take a few steps forward because it takes time to get everyone back together. People think because the team has been successful last year in this, they will pick up where they left off, but things don’t work like that, you have to work every day.”
