The position in the Champions League table is not deserved, we should have nine points,” Enrique said Friday ahead of Saturday’s French league game against Nantes. “We can improve in every area, but I’m very optimistic.”“All the defeats and all the games provide a coach with much information. Accumulating all of this will have an impact on my decisions,” he said, without explaining what needs changing.
