“The aim is always to win, but unfortunately today we faced a defeat. We’ve clocked up some important minutes as we prepare for what will be a very long season, in which we want to reaffirm ourselves. We did some good things and will build on what we achieved last year. There were mistakes we need to avoid, but we are confident heading into the league. The group is the same as last year. We feel for the players who are currently injured as they are all important players. We’ll make sure the new arrivals feel comfortable from the start, and they will give us a great boost. On Sunday against Chelsea, we want to perform well. Our fitness will improve, and we aim to put into practice all the work we do during the week.”
