Kovac told a news conference: “He expressed things in a factual way,”
“He didn’t want to go on strike or sit in the stands. He’s allowed to reveal his feelings.
“The talks with him were very good. I didn’t speak to him as a coach but as a human being. I understand him, but we have a common goal. We spoke openly and honestly.
“I wasn’t here last year. Maybe he didn’t get the affection that we all need. But he is here mentally. He has scored four goals so far, four important goals. We can count on him.
“You can see that he is absolutely determined to give everything for this club. I’m happy about that and so are his team-mates and the fans.”
