He knows how to manage the group very well”, he explained. Rubén Miño confided: “he’s a horny guy. He enjoys interacting with players and is very mentally gifted. He took jokes and the bastard would get mad at you if he wanted to. He always had ways of getting through it and when someone responded, he was easily on top of it.”
Cristian Tello paid the price for his demands. “Once I got into a really big traffic jam and was late for training. I arrived while the discussion was in progress and I was going to start in this match. And he opened the door and he said to me, “Stay away.” I went from starting status to not even being called up.” Finally, several explained that he tends to be tough when the team wins, and more sympathetic when it loses. He also comes to the bedside of players who are struggling or who are not playing. “He made sure that the players were very involved, from the first to the last. When it was your turn to play, you were prepared because it had a detailed setup”, admitted Carles Planas. A proven method.
