"I talked with the leaders of the group, at least six or seven of them; I was told that they did not have any problems with him.
“This reassured me, and now I think only about the good of the team.
“For the following two games I prefer to play with one striker, Gonzalo Higuain was called because of his experience, Lucas Pratto because I know him well and Lucas Alario because I think the future of the team and I want him to begin to feel part of the collective.
"But I do not mean that I will always select these players exclusively.”
