GARNACHO ON THE BENCH?”I explained the same about Zirkzee, it is the same about Alejandro, you saw his background, he played in an FA Cup final and then in Copa America. He had one game and then he had his break. He needed a break and we had to bring him into the tour. Fitness-wise, it would have been the best decision to be in the tour, to work on his fitness. After a long season as a young player, he needed a break. He came late into pre-season and we have players in wide areas who have performed very well. That is why he started on the bench. It is the same story about Zirkzee, Sancho, Garnacho too. He will have his minutes and he will have starts. That will come in the coming weeks, months.”
CASEMIRO’S ROLE?”As a midfielder he has to defend and attack, everyone knows Casemiro is also a brilliant passer and I think his performance all over was very good, exactly what we expect from him. A good organiser, good at interceptions, good in duels and he is good in duels and he is also good in the passes.”
