Team injuries
Laje: "There is no change, or Kilman, Neves, Bourdens are out of the game, we will do our best to help them recover, but I think it is difficult for them to play in this game. It was a small difficulty for the team, the team was healthy for a while in February, and before that we waited for Eight months for Boley, Jonny, Neto to come back, they are important players in the team. Now it's Kilman, Neves, Bodens, these are all things that we can't control, we can only maintain a positive mindset and at the same time arrange the most appropriate tactical plan for the game according to the existing players. ”
He went into training on Wednesday but after six weeks out of injury, he couldn't play the full 90 minutes. I want our best players to play, so if I can, I'll definitely have Neves on the pitch, but right now I have no reason not to let Dendonkel, Moutinho or Kander play. Neves can take our game to a different dimension because he can find space and play an important role in the game, for us Neves is an important player, but we also beat Southampton without him. Let's see what happens in a few days, but now there's almost no chance he's going to play this week. ”
Rival Brighton
Laje: "Brighton are in a good position right now because they have a good coach and Porter is doing a great job at Brighton. We've watched a lot of Brighton games and tried to understand how they played. I remember the first half of the season against Brighton, the two sides played very close, we seized a chance to score a goal to win the game, so that we can face Chelsea, Manchester United with confidence. ”
End-of-season sprint
Laje: "The season is over with more than 20 days to go and now it's time for the final 100m sprint and we need to fight for 6th or 7th place so we can have a European game, just like we've achieved. There are 5 more games to see what happens. ”
"We need to be more aggressive, we need to create more chances, we need to have more players in the opposition box, we need to have shots in and out of the box. Scoring goals is not only the responsibility of the striker, but also the wingers, the midfielders, the defenders, I want them to be as early as possible on the pitch and we are always trying to find a solution to that. ”
