00:00Arne, working with Mo during your time here and being up close to him,

00:05what is it that makes him so special and why is it that obviously fans and the club

00:10and everyone connected here are so pleased today that this player is staying with you?

00:15First of all, he's always been judged as a player.

00:19He's always judged as a player, which is of course what you guys should do.

00:22But I also see him as a human being and he's a humble person,

00:25always wants to work hard, always puts a lot of effort in to become the player he has become

00:32and he wants to stay at that level so he just keeps on bringing that effort every single day.

00:37And what makes him special on the pitch is in my opinion that he can score goals now.

00:43There are more players who can score goals but Mo can also score a goal

00:46if he's not in the best half hour or the best 15 minutes

00:51and that's why he's mentally so strong as well.

00:55And you need to be that if you want to be seven or eight years at the highest level every three or four days.

01:00Apart from quality, about from physique, you need to be mentally really strong as well.

01:05And I think that's, apart from all the other things,

01:09how mentally strong he is is probably what stands out for me.

01:15How much of an input did you have on him today and how much work did you do on keeping Mo here?

01:22I'm part of that process but I don't think I deserve the compliments.

01:27I think it's, first of all, it's Mo's choice and his agent's choice, what he wants.

01:31And second of all, the club, FSG, Richard, Michael Edwards, they put a lot of effort in him to extend.

01:37And effort mostly means money.

01:43But also effort, not only money.

01:46So I think what it might tell you as well that it's not only a good season this season,

01:55we want to make a very good season next season as well.

01:57And I think Mo is convinced that there's a fair chance that we're able to do so.

02:02So again, that's positive for us.

02:06All right.

02:07Thanks.

02:08I'm excited to have a great time.

02:09Thanks.

02:10Thanks for listening.
