When most of the times all the managers, we said that finish the transfer window,
00:04
everything can happen. This is the real proof. So he was completely surprised and expected and
00:13
you know, it happened. And we know him quite well, me personally, but the staff and the players and
00:19
everyone. And you know, the quality that he played last season in Barcelona, like
00:27
he played at a high level, consistency, playing a lot of minutes, games and producing a lot.
00:34
We didn't have any doubts, but the possibility was open. And yeah, absolutely delighted he's back.
00:42
I was going to say, was it a no-brainer when Chiqui put the idea to you that Gundogan could
00:47
return? Was it an easy yes from you? Yeah. Is his role going to change this time? Now he's
00:53
a year older or you found a solution in your squad without him? Of course, he's not a teenager
00:59
anymore. But the reason why we decided that the chance to do it is for the level he played last
01:08
season. So in his season, last season was not playing the level that we expect he's going to
01:16
deliver. Maybe you have to think about it, but, you know, even the Euros, playing with Nagel,
01:24
with the national team, with Nagelsmann, played really, really good as well. So that's why.
01:30
And he knows what we want to do. He doesn't need adapt, you know, he knows the city,
01:35
he knows the club, the mates and the way we want to play. So we'll be immediately, you know,
01:41
settle, I guess, good. And that's why we could do it and we did it.
