“The balance to find between really hard pressure to achieve all the things that the team makes so passionate and excited, and the need to get a healthy team in the long run is one of the most difficult things in a live game”, he says. “It’s also the wonderful on a live game that we can continue to build and develop the game every day. It is also easy to get our own worst enemy and too fast to do too much. We work every season to promote the development on the basis of what is best for the health of the game and the team. “
