‘You can see in my face, you can compare it to the way when I arrive and now,” he said with a laugh. “Of course there is a lot of pressure. For me, it’s the pride and also the performance. It’s harder when we don’t perform well. ‘When I arrived I explained everything before, even when you guys were talking after Everton about the top four, I explained I was expecting this but it’s hard to cope with all the problems and the bad performances and the losses.
