Pereira said that Lopez is working hard and trying to be ready to help the team, and that he has a lot of experience with talented players.

The manager recalled his experience with Arda Guler, a talented player he worked with at Fenerbahce when Guler was just 16 years old.

Pereira remembered that Guler was a fantastic player who always wanted to play and take the ball, and that he had a strong personality that sometimes made him angry with his teammates.

Pereira believes that players with a strong personality and self-confidence need to be protected from the pressure of performing well, and that it's essential to balance their desire to play with the need to develop and grow as a player.

The manager is looking to give Lopez more opportunities to play and develop his skills, but also wants to ensure that he is ready to perform at a high level when he is given the chance.

Pereira's goal is to help Lopez grow as a player and become a valuable member of the team, while also managing his expectations and protecting him from the pressure of performing well.
