“Yes, we must try to avoid it,” he said.
“For once it’s good because in the past, in recent years, whenever we were down it was difficult for us to come back.
“We showed that last season and this season we can do it, but we have to try to avoid it as much as possible, get in touch to try to manage this situation. It’s risky. One day we won’t be able to come back.”
