"Of course he's impatient. He wants to play and he's fighting to play. That is professional football, that is top football. Those are the laws. You pick the team that you think has the most chance to win a game. The players have to fight for their positions.

"You pick the XI who have the best dynamic, the best chemistry. So he has to earn the right in training but the others are doing really well. He has to get over them. Now he has to bounce back and he has the abilities to do it. If he is doing the right thing, he can make competition with them."
