"The after-effects of what was said, what happened in the past and also everything to do with my family: having packed my bags, having thought about going elsewhere, all those things.
"That will go away with time, but today I feel good on the pitch. The furniture has gone up but the boxes haven't been unpacked yet. It's taking a long time, there are a lot of boxes to unpack.
"We haven't got the time yet, we're concentrating on the football and when there's the next break we'll unpack everything."
