Does the coach count on reinforcement from Manchester? Does anybody expect players who, like Dong last year, can make the difference in matches where the collective fails? "You don't have guys like Campbell, Shawcross, Gibson, Dong, Evans...this year. Guys like that, worth millions, are unreachable for the average club and can in fact bring that extra quality impulse, which is now probably not available. But this is a well thought choice. Thus club can not , and will not ,depend on another club. That is not the purpose of a co-operation, but last year it was a must to cope with the lack of quality." What is different from last year and wg-hy is it a well thought choice? "The purpose is to be collectively the strongest Class is great but you need much more than only class. You need a collectively strong group, that because of that group feeling learns to combine quicker and plays with passion, fire, and love for football, the club and the fans. The support of our fantastic fans is something we have to earn and preferably with collectively strong performances. That's why we try to reinforce the group with local talent."
