    “At the moment I don’t see myself (at another club) because there are still 10 games to play. I can’t think about what will happen in the summer.”

    “It’s not just one, two, three talks and it’s over. There are many factors and as long as I’m calm, you (the media) don’t have to worry. If I’m worry, you’ll see me playing with worry, which is not the case.”

“The only thing I know is that I want Virgil to be here next season, and all the rest, his talks about contracts, that’s not what I do over here,” he said.
