00:00 We had to get through this game, and we did.
00:03 The boys responded sensationally well.
00:06 Now they're all gone again, and we come back and we can train once and play City.
00:14 OK, we won, nobody can say at the moment,
00:19 but how can you put the game like this on Saturday at 12.30?
00:23 Honestly, the people who are making these decisions,
00:27 they cannot feel football, it's just not possible.
00:31 If that's the moment where the world pays the most to see a football game,
00:36 nobody has to tell us. I don't know if that's the case or not, I really don't know.
00:40 But I think there would have been a moment where you could let these two teams,
00:44 who have altogether probably 30 international players,
00:49 they all come back in the same plane, by the way,
00:51 the South Americans sit on the same plane and fly back.
00:53 We pick them up, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia,
00:58 one game, one plane, and then we arrive here, so it's really mad.
