How to rotate the lineup in important games

"Yes, this kind of We have been dealing with the situation for several weeks. We have been working hard to maintain the energy and cohesion of the team in all competitions and we know there will be a tough challenge tomorrow. Slavia Prague are undefeated at home this season. This is a very united team with a clear tactical concept and they create a strong home atmosphere. We know it will be a very difficult game."

Schedule for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals

Whether they are worried about Dzhekeresh's Premier League schedule. Injury

"I am indeed a little worried because he has rarely had muscle problems in the past. This time he had to leave the field and felt something was wrong. This is obviously not a good sign. Especially for such an explosive player like him, so we are investigating in depth to see how his injury is. When more news is available, we will announce it in time."

About the team's defensive mentality

"At present, our defense is very good. I think the overall organization of the team is very strong. The energy, intelligence and aggression shown by the players when defending are the key to our success."

Talking about Gabriel's influence

"This is not only the credit of Gabriel, but the entire team. It's a team effort. Every staff member and player has contributed, and it's a collective effort. When it comes to numbers, everyone has to do their part. Gabriel did it, and so did the players, and ultimately they have to execute the tactics we want to convey." Adjusting the date of the match with Everton

"I leave this matter to the club. We know very well which arrangement is the most reasonable and what is the most suitable match date. I believe we will eventually make the necessary adjustments."

About Zhekeresh's inner feelings

If he has an injury that needs to be resolved, we will try our best to help him. As you said, he was in very good shape before, which is very important for the team. But he will not be able to play tomorrow. This is the reality. "

About the team's clean record

"Yes, this is of course a very important condition for winning games, especially on the road. It's even more difficult during the game. Tomorrow we know we will face a tough challenge. Slavia Prague's style is very positive, direct and aggressive, so we have to go all out to achieve our goals."

Regarding injuries

"We currently have seven players out, so I don't know how we can talk about the depth of the squad. Because we have lost a lot of key players, especially the forwards. If we continue like this, we will go against the content of the previous discussion, and I think that is the most important thing."

About Dzekeresh's muscle injury

"I am not going to discuss the injury in detail, let the doctor explain it today. We will see what happens in the next week or so."

About Chamberlain's return to the youth academy for training

"It's great! He is a very good character, one of the best personalities I have ever met in football. If we can help him, give him time to get back to his best and find the right club. , That will be very happy. The young players will learn a lot from him. I have also been fortunate to play with him, and if he comes back, he will be a very good role model for the team."

Regarding whether Rice is only one yellow card away from the suspension, it will affect tomorrow's lineup selection

"This also has something to do with Subimendi's situation. Daosubimendi also had two yellow cards, and that's the way it is with Sporting, sometimes you lose some players at crucial moments. But that's part of Sporting as well."

About Nergao's role

"I know very well the role he will play and the shape he is in now. He was in good condition before, and it takes some time to recover after the injury. This is normal. Now he has recovered well and can play tomorrow."

As to whether there is a special reason for the forward injuries

"We have analyzed all the situations and it is true that four players have suffered knee injuries, namely Gabriel Jesus, Havertz, Maduek and Odegaard. , which is very unusual, and they all need a long recovery. In addition, there are some players with muscle injuries, which is a situation that every club encounters. "

Regarding whether there will be contact with Rosicky, we will try to get to him and we have a good time together.. I've always said that Thomas is one of my favorite teammates and if there was a chance tomorrow and it was convenient for him, we would meet, hug each other and talk about football. "
