He added:

“We are entering a cycle of matches every three days. The objectives are very ambitious. I have a quality squad, everyone must be ready, it is essential that the players go out during the match to maintain an overall level of freshness and clarity throughout the matches. There is an international break afterwards, so there is little rest on the horizon. This rotation process will begin against Monaco on Sunday.”
