Before preparing for the season, we analyse the calendar. There are a lot of variables: playing time, players called up for selection... We adjust based on all that. This forecast is always adaptable. The most important thing right now is to play and win more matches because we haven't won Ligue 1 yet. We must be in a good position to win all the matches. I don’t want the players to think of Barcelona, but of Clermont.
I have never had a team with 12-13 starters. I have always done things differently. The player must feel involved. If someone is better than you, they play. Is he the best player in the world? If we look at the numbers, you answer all the questions.
I know who is going to play tomorrow against Clermont because I just saw the last training session. For Barcelona, I don't know. We will see. I trust the 23 players. High-level football involves a very high risk of injury. The important thing is to have a good medical service so that the players recover quickly. We have specialists. Prevention is important. It’s obvious that we all work as a team around the same team. We also have a food department. It’s a sport where there are injuries. We must prevent, then cure. We can always improve.
