Fransesco Coco is still puzzled by his first half substitution against
Celta on Sunday, but knows that he’s got to keep on training hard to keep
his place in the team.
Only half an hour
"It’s the boss who
has to make the changes and obviously he can do as he pleases. However,
it doesn’t make much sense to me to sub someone after just half an hour
and I still don’t really understand it. I know I’ve just got to keep working
hard and hope to play on Sunday. Sergi is fit again and the boss can choose
between us. Whoever gets the nod, it’ll be because they’ve shown they deserve
it in midweek. I think I’ve done well so far and I’ve been getting more
used to things here as the season’s gone on and it’ll certainly be tough
for me if I lose my place now."
Recent form
"We’ve played four
bad games in three months. Sure, we’re going through a bit of a rough patch,
but I’m positive that if we can win these next two games before Christmas
we’ll be back on the right track. I think it’s important that the whole
team reflects on how we’re doing, because I don’t think any individual
is to blame, we’ve all been playing poorly."
