"Training has been going on very well. The players are responding very well and this has generated intense competition among the players for positions. And that is healthy for every team," he said in an interview.

"Everyone is hoping to catch the eye of the coach and that has generated a fierce competition and undoubtedly, this is a clear sign of determination and focus of the team," he added.
