00:00 You say that Mikel is part of your family, he spoke this morning and said you've been
00:04 one of the most influential people in his career. What are your memories of your time
00:08 with him at PSG?
00:10 Amazing memories I think is when you connect with a person like him, we share the values
00:16 and we share the passion of football. And yes, I can tell you he's part of my family
00:23 from day one that he arrived to Paris, we arrived together, we spent time together with
00:28 our families also, first of all in a few months in the hotel and then we lived very close.
00:35 And it was an amazing, amazing history and of course for me it's not surprising what
00:40 he's doing because he was a coach already when he was 17, when I knew him. Already was
00:46 a coach and trust me, he was really, really good in the management, in the house football
00:53 and it's not surprising to me. He's great, still really young and of course improving
01:00 day by day, he can be one of the greatest managers in the world.
01:03 Will you send him some messages about the game, some WhatsApps later?
01:06 No of course we are not sending messages now. Before the season started yes of course, but
01:12 now no because I think we don't have time because it's really tough to be a coach and
01:17 we are thinking and trying to prepare the game and the team, not only tomorrow if not
01:23 in every single game and we are focusing on that.
