"There are four, my wish is to have them all available. I have some intelligent boys. Playing every three days, I will have the opportunity to change it."

He added:

"We must continue like this. Tonight is a great injection of confidence.

"I'm proud of my boys, it's a pleasure to see them like this. We had a great match but we have to continue like this.

"In the league we lost points initially, but it's still a long way [to go]. We have to think match-by-match."
