“We live in a competitive environment. Not only when we go to matches, people need to understand that,” Riveiro explained.
“The players come every morning hungry to train well, express themselves on the field and prepare to understand the needs of the week and game.
“Being a coach is not that easy by just selecting the best players. You have to select the ones that you consider the best one to win a game,” he said.
“But like I said, I am a lucky coach with a squad full of talent and possibilities. The players are not machines, they go through different stages,” Riveiro said.
“When we gave Monnapule a chance to come in, it wasn’t like we tossed to see what would happen. We knew that the boy was prepared for that feat.
“We know the competition, and that things might not go the way we expect. And with Terrence, it was the same. He was doing the things well at training.”
