Vicario came in for criticism for his handling of set-pieces.
He said, "It's part of the challenge. It's a different culture, different football. In Italy, it's completely different (how they deal with challenges on the goalkeeper). Maybe I didn't want to waste time adapting but sometimes you have to be really honest with yourself and say 'ok, maybe I need just a bit of time just to know how these sort of tactics and especially set pieces work'.

"It's just a bit of time of adaptation. Of course conceding from set-pieces is a part of football but we don't have to be worried, maybe just don't accept some situations, you know?
"Maybe it's trying to win the first contact, don't accept a block and try to win the ball back. I think it's all about trying to adapt myself in certain situations."
