What is the tactical challenge against Burnley? "Compared with the game against Paris Saint-Germain two days ago, this time the challenge is completely different, but the challenge is the same. Burnley has a very good defense, with 29 clean sheets last season and conceded only 16 goals. We This defensive structure and discipline need to be dealt with. We hope to dominate the game, but it also takes time to break the opponent's defense line. "
What did you learn from the players

Have you talked to him about Bisuma? "We have dealt with this issue, and these things are usually resolved internally, and the most important thing is tomorrow's game."
Richarlison performed well against Paris Saint-Germain, how important he is to you
"Richarlison performed very well, his ball-holding, strength, oppression and ability to enter the penalty area are all very good. We hope he can continue to maintain this form. We also pay close attention to his physical condition to make sure he can stay in the best form."

What makes a lot of young players out of the loan? "I think it's important to learn in first-team training, but more importantly to get playing time, which we think is the best way for them to grow."
Why did Berrival and Johnson not be given priority in Wednesday's game "That's because we used different formations, Johnson can play forward, but Terr performed well. We need different types of players. Lucas and Archie Gray have different characteristics, and Archie Gray is more suitable for the situation at that time.
