“So what can a team of honest players do for you? They want to fight, they want to run, they want to play football, they want to play effective football, they want to win games and they’ve done that. So it’s a big challenge and I’m looking forward to it.
“I really enjoy going there. It might sound silly, but I do. I think it’s a proper football stadium. It’s going to be packed. It’s going to be a great experience for our young players as well. We’ve talked to guys like Fermi, Brast, Sidi and Brooksy.”
