“Sometimes you can be too harsh on them, but you also look at the situation, can he take the pressure? And if he can take the pressure, you put the pressure on him, you challenge him because you want to get the best out of him. I think he’s [Human] one of the players who have responded positively to that, and we needed to take him to another level, to push him. You can be a player that is very important for a very long time, which is good because he was an investment from the club.”
