I know he is missing a lot of his most important players but still I feel like that time could have been better used and more importantly it seems even some players who got time off are resenting that decision. It does not make much sense considering that players who need rest are on international duty anyway and those that are left could arguably use more training and match time.
Wow. I mean, never against giving guys a good long break to be with family but you do that to reward good performances and hard work... not sloppy plays and not showing up on the match and running like you're in the veteran's league...
Worse, he's gone off on holiday himself. Nothing wrong with that too, in regular and normal circumstance... even Klopp told his players after a final loss to celebrate and made sure no one went home early... but that was more of a consolation and "we lost but we lost good" sort of way.
I bet Fernandes and Ronaldo are fuming.
