"Our target in the pre-season is to set all the habits, so here being all together and being a group, we start to build a family and we need to become champions. So, here it gives us the cohesion and they start to build these habits and all of the small things.

We are looking for this consistency in the beginning and for that we need to push them now and build the best team we can have," he said.
