Hernandez told Sportweek : “He gave us courage, gives us lots of advice and sometimes even scolds us – but always to motivate us.

“When I came back from vacation, he told me: ‘Where are you going with 90 kilos here?’ I was a bit fatter…

“But he also told me that I am strong and that I have to become the best, but that I have to work hard.

“We follow him, and in training we give everything, always. All together. It has been an incredible year, we are having an incredible year. And the credit belongs to everyone.”
