00:00First of all, I don't define myself as a coach in my life,

00:04but I'm also a human being and I stand for my values.

00:08I've said it before, and it's not a far-fetched criticism,

00:14but I have to endure it.

00:15It's completely normal if Borussia Dortmund doesn't win four times away.

00:19I didn't expect to be given positive feedback as a coach,

00:23because I'm just standing in front of it and I'm the one who's on fire.

00:29But I'm also the one who's standing in the sun when it's going well.

00:33So I try to pay attention to my health, to my mental health,

00:39to my diet, to my sleep, and I try to stay clear,

00:46because I'm very, very convinced that we will be successful,

00:49even in the phases when it's hard to say and feel that it's going to go on,

00:56that we're going to get up and keep going.
