“That’s the mentality that we need. We need to be ready to play every two or three days when the schedule is asking for that.

“It’s obviously not just playing but playing to win every two or three days. Thats our mandate or obligation.

“When you are playing for a big team and you want to find yourself in finals or fighting for titles. That’s the mentality you need to develop. Otherwise the rest of the time, you’ll need to take care of yourself. They like it, they like playing so much. As a coach I don’t mind having three days in between games. 

“If we want to play in Africa, this is a good test because it will happen frequently. It’s a good test, mentally and physically.

“Personally, I’m learning a lot from this. I am able to see the kind of training that is needed. Once we start the game, we think about what we need to do and the result,” Riveiro concluded.
