“We need Kasper, with his character, his performance, and his consistency. No, there is no problem with this. There is a lot of speculation at this moment, it is normal.”

“I think he can bring more competition to the squad and more possibilities. It is a good thing to have competition between players in the squad to develop desire,” he added.
