A lot of players want to play here.We are in one process and we need, in this process, to be strong in our idea, to be strong in our way. Its the reason we started this season. The idea was to get more competitive like a team, be closer to other teams, and we did that.At the moment, its not enough for our target, but the next week and next year that idea will continue in our minds.I dont know our targets for next year, but the club is working to improve and do everything in our way.
