”This season we will constantly analyse how I feel. Last season I played a lot of games and with a lot of intensity. There were times when I felt very tired, and I was injured in the final stretch of the season,” he added.
“We know that when the Champions League starts there is very little recovery time between games and it will be important to manage the wear and tear well. I think this start of the season will be just as difficult as the previous one, so we have to be prepared. I’m aware that the intensity is very high, also because of the way we play: so we’ll all need to rest at some point. I have prepared very well this summer. I’ve had a lot of holidays, I’ve been fine-tuned and I think that will help me throughout the season.”
