”They are doing well. The hunger is there and this is the first time that they have a peaceful camp, in terms of everything [being] well organized.

”[Odion] Ighalo, Alex Iwobi. There is a lot of them that you can mention. We don’t really call them star players but all round we believe they are a good team.”
