It was a surprise to us as well because we really hadn't expected that he was able to return.
00:07
But it was the opinion of the experts that keeping him in his natural environment was
00:13
important. Football is part of his life, it's something he needs to do to be happy as well.
00:18
We were ready for anything and 45 minutes physically was roughly what he was able to do.
00:29
In the second half you could see how much of an impact he can have.
00:33
But I have to add that it's really important not to confuse things. It's part of his process
00:41
of getting back. It's not like we can fly him all over the world now and that's it. It's just
00:50
part of his return to health, to recreate that environment.
00:55
We follow what the medical experts say. It's step by step, it's a small environment,
01:01
being with the team, being with the people he considers his friends,
01:04
keeping a very, very small world for him. That seems to put him in a good place.
01:12
This is just part of his recovery as well.
01:15
It's not even my decision, it's not up to me. He just can't. It's the medical
01:21
advice we're getting at the moment. The conflict of course is that he loves to play for his country.
01:28
Even from my side, I think the African Cup of Nations is a big trophy, it's a big competition.
01:34
It's important for me as an African coach as well to support the competition, but it's not up to me.
01:41
I just relay what I've... We've done everything for the human being to this point. There's no
01:51
reason to change all of a sudden.
