> “I’ve spoken with \[Balde\]. He was coming back from injury and he’s changed a lot in this time. When I see Balde, he’s improved a lot. He’s at the next level, but he needs to take one more step. He’s a fantastic player and he has to prove it. He needs to never give up and be better every day. That’s what I want from him.
