We had two bad results, our away games were not the best. We didn't get the best results. But I think in total the season was good." However, the captain hopes to get trophies in the new season. "Now we know that we have to improve game-wise, and we will. We will improve it, and we will show that we are a big team," Bruno stated.

We know when you come to a club like this that you have to fight for all the trophies, that you are included in. That's what we have to do. Fight for them, try our best to win every game that we have and that's it."
