00:00Can I have the report, please?

00:06It's going to be the same as you and Sean.

00:09Until last night, my trophy drought is about as long as Spurs.

00:12So it's a long time survivor, as I would intend to.

00:15When and how and where does your performance review happen?

00:18And what does it look like?

00:21Well, it's already started because our performance review goes every two months.

00:26That's the way we do it.

00:27And then we will see next week here with everybody that is involved.

00:31We will draw everything that we planned and actually what happened.

00:34And I will take all that and go to Spain, somewhere very quiet,

00:38and start to go through that with some ideas that I already have,

00:42with some learnings that I already took.

00:45And then it's not about that.

00:46It's after putting that into a plan,

00:48improve our vision that you can stray away immediately as quick as possible

00:53or start to pass into all the staff

00:55so everybody is aligned and ready on day one through that door

00:58to go and pursue the objectives that we have.

01:01We're always told with these meetings that Charles had honest conversations

01:05and you're supposed to come up with what your weakness is,

01:08what the thing you've most got to improve is.

01:11I'm being serious about it.

01:13If you're going in there and you're going to say to them,

01:16look, this is what I got wrong, this is what I need to improve,

01:19what would that be?

01:20You personally, not the whole team, not the whole club,

01:22but you personally, what would you say,

01:24I could have done this better this year and I will do it,

01:26and judge me on doing it better next year?

01:28Yeah, I would do that.

01:30I'm not going to tell you what is it,

01:31but I'm going to do that for sure.

01:34And I hope they do the same.

01:36Yeah, I was going to say,

01:37but it's also a chance for you to say to them,

01:39you need to do this better.

01:40Do you have that relationship with the hierarchy

01:43and say, guys, I need more help here, please?

01:46Yeah, upstairs there with the players,

01:48but that's very transparent.

01:49I mean, that's the culture that we have created.

01:51Do it, do it in a respectful way.

01:53Give arguments, make sure that the context that you are saying

01:57that is not for your own benefit,

01:59but it's the benefit of all of them.

02:01Then bring solutions, not the problem,

02:03just if you bring a problem,

02:04bring solutions to that problem.

02:06Because, you know, we're just bulking in problems.

02:09So do that work, find it,

02:11and then find the solution immediately,

02:13and we can share it and we can make the right decision after that.

02:17But, I mean, I really enjoy, it's phenomenal,

02:19the atmosphere that we have in there, the work,

02:21that those moments is one of the best in the season.

02:24You're very lucky.

02:26And the final press conference question of the season.

02:30Thank you, good one, yeah.

02:32Exactly.

02:33No pressure.

02:34Could you enjoy the summer of,

02:37you mentioned that when you have time off and downtime,

02:40could you enjoy, obviously,

02:41letting people do the jobs you're speaking to all the time,

02:44do you ever have a downtime yourself?

02:45Yes, I do, I do enjoy it.

02:47I enjoy it because I know that I've given my best.

02:50Or very close to my best.

02:52And I have put all the hours, efforts.

02:56I've been honest with myself,

02:58I've been honest especially with the staff and players.

03:00I do have this feeling at the end of this season,

03:03we still have one more game to go.

03:05Hopefully that will remain after Sunday.

03:07And after that, I think we all deserve as well to recharge,

03:10to think about other things,

03:12to give time to our families, our friends,

03:14and disconnect a little bit from this world.

03:17But there is always that connection constantly

03:20because the phone is going to be on

03:21because a lot of things happen in a football club

03:23that you have to pay attention to.

03:25But yeah, hopefully I will enjoy a lot.

03:31Okay? Thank you.

03:35Thanks.
