We must be proud of these players."When the team has had to defend, we have been able to close the gaps, compete and play football. We are proud. It's time to enjoy." He added: "This year we have won four titles. From six we have won four."This team does not have to prove anything. They carry many titles won with different coaches. "No complaints about my players. We had a challenge that no one else had, which was to win everything, but it was not possible. It was difficult because this is a complex sport."</blockquote>
