00:00 "Obviously I feel very privileged and honoured to coach this Korean team because we have

00:07 a very special team.

00:08 We have players that are capable to play in Europe in very good leagues and very good

00:13 clubs.

00:14 We have players in Korea playing good roles with their clubs in the Asian Champions League.

00:20 And we are confident, but we are not overconfident.

00:25 Now there is a difference between confidence and thinking it's easy.

00:30 Nothing is easy.

00:31 Every game will be a battle.

00:33 Every game will be a nail-biter for us.

00:36 But obviously we have quality and we know that.

00:40 But we are going to take it one game at a time.

00:44 Now we have Jordan.

00:45 Jordan played a very, very good first game.

00:48 So we respect them a lot.

00:49 They are very good individual players.

00:51 They will make it difficult for us.

00:53 They will make it frustrating for us.

00:55 And we have to find a way to break them down, which is not easy.

01:00 If you watch the other games, it's not easy for any team out there.

01:05 But we know about our strengths.

01:08 And for me as a coach, it's a lot of fun actually coaching these guys."
