Stating that it was a huge experienced although playing against big teams like Chelsea was a bit tough.

After the interviewer asked him about his ambitions for the coming title. He said, “This is a very ambitious club. They don’t understand losing. Since I joined, every tournament we go out there to win. The league, the Champions League, the King’s Cup, the Club World Cup. Every game we play is like a final.
