“It is stressing because these months are crucial for me, but I am focusing on a plan not to (get) any injuries on my body.

“Right now I am concentrating on the Champions League because this is a big time for me.

“I’ve never been to this stage of the competition before and if I enjoy my football now it will bring better performances come January and the Nations Cup.

“I want to be in better form than I am now as it will be the biggest stage that I have ever played at for my national team which could open other opportunities for me,” said Billiat.
