“I wish them to find stability again”

And to add: “ Afterwards, there are things that I don’t control, I don’t know how things work inside the club. But it’s true that it saddens me a little to see this team at the bottom of the rankings. I wish them to find stability, at the club and at the team. But I hope we finish in front of them, that’s the most important thing! »
