I believe in the team building stages,” he added. However, he warned that to be champions he needs a left-back, that he is not youthful. “It’s a task to boost players in that place (left lane), but if we’re aiming to compete for the title, it’s not with juveniles that position should be filled, I want the competition to be between more mature players,” he said.
