00:00Every big competition is an opportunity for young players.

00:03What we have learned today is that the young players are ready earlier.

00:10That the trend of modern sport is intensity.

00:15So they need to be well prepared.

00:17We have seen the European Championship players like Jamal at 16 years of age being one of

00:22the major players at the big tournaments.

00:24So the young players today are ready earlier.

00:27It is a good platform for them to show their quality.

00:32And I don't expect that from European clubs because I know all the European players.

00:37But I hope I will have surprises from Africa, from Asia, from Oceania, from South America

00:45even that we discover some players and this tournament could help us to discover some

00:51new players.

00:52I believe as well it's a unique opportunity for players who don't go to the World Cup

00:58of nations because we'll have about 87 or 90 different countries who will be represented

01:04by players who do not go to the World Cup and can win the World Cup with the clubs.

01:09So that's why I would say it's as well an opportunity that some players will not get with their country.

01:15Realme what is another country.

01:28So thank you very much.
