"On a personal level it is always difficult, but I have to make decisions. I have a team at my disposal and I have to use it. We have between 50 and 60 games a season, so we have to go game by game and see what team we will have to choose. There's no need to mention Harry Maguire or Cristiano Ronaldo. They are fantastic players and will play a role in the future of the team, but also in the short term," he said.
