“It’s only 10 days, so we don’t know everything (about Jurics style) but I feel the new manager wants to see us be more aggressive in attack.

“And in defence, in the situations when we steal the ball (he wants us to be aggressive). Under the old gaffer, when we stole the ball, we tried to keep it.

“The new gaffer wants to score a goal straight away. We have to go attack, attack. We have to see the situation to attack and get the goal.

“In training, if we steal the ball and try to pass back, he says ‘no, try and see the pass forward and find a way to attack’. We feel good because we have good players in attack.”
