“It’s the first time in our lives it’ll happen [a mid-season World Cup] so we don’t know how the players will come back. If you have six players who are world champions, they will be really positive. Others may be depressed. Or the guys knocked out might have more holidays.
“With this incredible schedule, you’ve seen how many players will miss the World Cup because of this insane calendar,” Pep stated.
When discussing Haaland, the manager stated, “Apart from that, his work ethic — (Haaland) is one of the first to arrive and is one of the last to leave. He takes care of his body perfectly.”
