The Dutchman, however, refuses to talk about the transition season: “I’m not in favor of thinking about not winning things. We are in a club where you always have to show a winning mentality. But you have to be realistic: it’s a club moment where you don’t we can fight to get the best in the world, like the other big teams are trying to do. “
