Transcript

00:00Well, we certainly have a lot of the best managers in the world in this league and that's

00:05enough. That's the challenge, that's the level. It's not about saying it on paper, it's why

00:10you leave, especially because you know the level and how opposition prepares and the

00:14things that they do to try to beat you. So it's great to be in this environment and try

00:19to prove yourself and win.

00:21You asked about Pep's new contract, you said you were happy for him, you congratulated

00:26him. Did you ever think he wasn't going to stay? Have you seen signs recently that he

00:33was getting bored or tired of the team?

00:36I had no clue to be fair. He's done that in the past as well, in Barcelona he was every

00:40year, then in Bayern when I was there he was very similar. But I don't know, it's his decision.

00:47He seems very happy with the club as well, so congratulations.
