"This year, there is a training camp and there is time for the team to work on what the manager wants, and I think that will then improve the team.

"There are still so many things to improve, but we shouldn't forget the quality that the Premier League possesses because we see it.

"I think a proper pre-season will definitely help the club in order to be even more consistent than we already have been."
