“We’ve not done too badly because we qualified for the Champions League’s knockout stages, and of course the league is not very good.
“At the moment in the dressing room, it is normal. Even two years ago, we were fighting to stay in the league and it was the same mentality last season when we won,” he continued.
“I think it is the same mentality and we just have to keep working hard to see what we can do this time.”
