In spite of these words of support, between frames has presionado to the "hero of Wembley" and has marked him the guidelines to be followed.

During September and the month in course both have given press conferences and, by part of Koeman, even the reading of a communiqué. The technician was practically sentenced and already sounded names like Xavi Hernández, Roberto Martínez and even Andrea Pirlo like his possible replacements.
