The Star, Sheffield

Transcript

00:00 There was a point when you'd won one game in six and yet they were still chanting your name, still right behind you.

00:05 Have you been surprised at all by how quickly that happened?

00:08 Yeah, for sure. I was surprised because I think you cannot expect this, yeah, to come as a young manager here to the first

00:17 station as a manager, to come in a new city.

00:22 You have no history here from my side.

00:25 And then you come here and you feel immediately, I think it was from the beginning.

00:29 And yeah, the people were very happy that I arrived here.

00:35 Yeah, for me it was, yeah, it was a good feeling, but it is not normal.

00:40 And I think it's really special here that everybody recognises, yeah, maybe what we have for Schalke.

00:47 But even, yeah, we didn't take the results at the beginning and they are still believe in the process.

00:54 Yeah, and I think, yeah, for me it was from the beginning clear that it will be a process.

01:01 It could be not immediately.

01:02 Yeah, but even in this process, we were very close.

01:06 Yeah, we were immediately competitive with the opponents.

01:10 When I look back to Watford, that was the key moment with the penalty.

01:13 Yeah, maybe you can win also this game, yeah, in the first game from my side.

01:19 And I think we changed the attitude, we changed the intensity.

01:25 And I think this was also the key, or I think this was the key that the people recognised this as well,

01:31 that something changed.

01:33 It was my goal, yeah, to come here to bring a little bit fresh air to the club.

01:41 And then I saw a team who was immediately open-minded for the stuff as well.

01:45 And it was a good match.

01:48 And now we have good energy in our stadium, I think we have good energy around the club as well.

01:54 Yeah, everybody is now hoping.

01:57 I think the hope is back, yeah, and we are now in a good position, not in the best position, that's true.

02:04 And when you look to the next games, yeah, it will be not easy.

02:07 But I think, yeah, it's a good way we are at the moment.

02:13 And for me it's about going again and again and going forward and not thinking what we did.

02:20 Now it's more about how we can win the next game.

02:24 Do you already feel quite at home in Sheffield?

02:27 Yeah, for sure.

02:28 I like to see all the people around here are very friendly, are open.

02:34 And even if they go to the supermarket, then it's always about, yeah, hello,

02:39 and you did a good job and all the things, and this is really awesome to have this feedback from them.

02:47 And for me it's about focus here on the training ground, yeah, and the office.

02:52 But you have some good restaurants here, I think this is important.

02:55 You have good people here, you have a good crowd here.

02:58 And if you take them points, I think it's good.

03:02 Do you have people shouting your name in the supermarkets then,

03:05 singing your song when you're trying to get your fruit?

03:08 Yeah, it could happen sometimes, yeah.

03:11 But it shows just that they are happy, yeah, and this is good.

03:16 Because if they are happy, that means that we performed well.

03:20 Otherwise, if we did not perform well, then maybe the sound is different.

03:24 And this is a good signal, and we have to do this.
