“You have to ask the manager but I feel very good and have been training for 10 days. I am okay..

“I am quite used to this (busy summer). I played the World Cup two years ago when at Juve and three years ago I was at the Under-20s World Cup as well. So I am okay. It is about your body and I have been training on my holidays.”
