    “I saw Reece as a midfielder from day one. I sent him a clip when he was on holiday about how he can be a midfielder. He used to play as a full-back, as a centre-back, so our main aim is to get him fit. “

    We know how important he is for us. He is our captain, a great player. We need him to be fit, that is our duty, our aim because he will help us for sure. He can play in a number of positions, because good players can play in a number of positions.”

    The Italian also spoke about the late goal, saying: “It was a not very good goal, we could have avoided it, that’s football, it happens. Now the 90 minutes are over and now we have another 90 minutes against them. “

    The main game for us is on Sunday at home and we need our fans to support the team and push the team for the 100 minutes. “

    If we win against Leicester on Sunday then we will take another step to finish the season in the Champions League. I don’t know if top four or top five.” ( 123over )
