Here's what Slutsky is reported to have said in the local paper :
“I can’t speak about being ready 100% but we have one week more and now the target next week is to keep the condition the same level,” the head coach told the club website after overseeing a 3-3 draw against Ajax"
"Everything is positive but I am worried about one situation. In my opinion we are late on one step always, we move forward but we always late on one or two steps. We have a good squad now, a lot of new players but everybody started pre-season very late, like Hector".
“We need a minimum of three or four more players and I think they come in only after start of the season".
“We don’t have another opportunity we must be ready. But we show character, we have key players and I am in a positive mood about our future”
So essentially we are going into the season half cocked. Like we did last season and look what happened then.
