The Dutchman is a bit annoyed with how the preseason is set up now and the impossibility to work as much as he wants with his players. “It’s true that this is not a preseason where you can work with the team for five or six weeks,” he declared. “It’s very complicated.”
“We’ve been with the team on tour USAthen we add the players that are on European Cup and the America’s Cup and now new signings with which we have to build a team through them,” continued the coach. The players who competed in these competitions, added to the recent additions and the injured, doubted the Dutch coach how his team will jump the grass tonight.
Despite the problems that arise May Hagis confident in his children, as he says the squad has “rules and principles as a basis from which to start.” The Dutchman assumes that “we cannot hide from what is there, or run away, so we have to face the game.” Finally, he emphasized the ability of his group of players and assured that despite the distractions, “we can present a strong team and we will do it.”
