"What happened in the national team happened in the national team, I don’t comment.
“My players when they go there belong to the national team and I don’t like to comment.
“Sometimes they come back stronger than when they left us because something good happened there, positive for them, other times injuries, sometimes big injuries, sometimes frustrations because they didn’t play or the result was bad.
“In this case, we knew what didn’t go well but the national team is a different chapter and is closed now until March.”
