Regarding new teammate Maupay, he commented, “I have trained with him for two sessions, and I’m getting to know him better. He integrates well with the group, and it’s essential for us to assist him in adapting quickly so he can contribute his skills to the team. Adding more players to our cause is crucial.”

If new players come in, they will be warmly welcomed.”
