Transcript

00:00 Yeah, it was always a pleasure, and it will be tomorrow too,

00:04 so battle and try to win the game.

00:06 Title race, decider, I don't know who brought that up, I think that's really early.

00:11 Big game, city games, big games, always, where always, will probably always be.

00:25 If you go through all the possible scenarios, I don't think after whatever result

00:32 anybody should open the bottles of champagne.

00:35 I respect completely his decision, completely.

00:39 I spoke with him and I had the feeling that he would be back sooner or later.

00:45 He's a man, he loves football, his passion is there, and his team is always...

00:51 Winning the amount of trophies he won in his career, but to feel like when you see him

00:57 on the touchline, he behaves like he's never won anything before,

01:02 so the desire he has, that's absolutely outstanding.

01:08 The shape of the attack is a little bit different than the previous seasons.

01:14 The quality of some players, new players, make the game a little bit different,

01:20 the main patterns are the same, so we know it quite well, I think they know us.

01:26 If we meet in the future, it will be full of respect.

01:31 So far we have not had the opportunity to meet each other more often,

01:35 but I think I said it often enough how much I respect him.

01:39 And we would have a lot to talk about, definitely.

01:44 When we were honoured to get the Honourable Hall of Fame with the Jurgen years ago,

01:50 we spent time with the families, but in terms of lunch, dinners, it never happened.

01:58 We had to decide who pays, that's why we didn't do it.

02:00 When it's all over in many years to come, would you like to sit down with him?

02:05 I think it's going to happen sooner or later, yeah. I would love it.
