Somehow I have to take care of him».
His answer in detail:
“Nothing has intervened. I have played with players with different characteristics. This time it happened to Pinedas, like the majority of the players, to enter the second half. Orbelin is super important. Consider that I make decisions on the basis that Pineda has not taken a vacation for 2.5 years. He is an excellent player and person. Somehow I have to take care of him. From January onwards, things will get more complicated. Tomorrow he will travel to Latin America. I’ve played football, I’ve done these trips. They tear you apart. Players, who play this position, although with different characteristics than Pineda, do well. Pineda is a player that we coaches have a… weakness. I will not hide this».
