00:00 How do you feel about the 10 per cent or perhaps relief?
00:04 The relief was there when I made the decision for myself,
00:08 that was another thing I realised, so I didn't know that would be the case,
00:13 but it was like that. Today it's mixed, but I'm not as emotional as I will be
00:19 when it comes to an end, because I spoke to the players today.
00:24 The two important things I had to do was to tell our...
00:30 Of course I have to tell the owners, that's clear,
00:33 but then to tell our supporters and to tell the players.
00:36 I don't know 100 per cent about the reaction of the supporters,
00:39 but the reaction of the players was top, it was really good.
00:45 We know each other so long that I know I don't say things like that
00:49 and walk away or stuff like this, so I am here and I am fully here,
00:54 and by the way, today I answer 500,000 questions if you want,
00:58 but that's it then, until the end of the season,
01:02 because we have so many other things to do and I am fully in that.
01:06 There's not a lot of emotion here, I had some talks in the last days
01:11 when I had to tell other people slightly earlier than I tell the public,
01:14 and there were some tears and stuff like this,
01:17 but that's normal after such a long time together.
01:21 But besides that, it's just the right thing to do,
01:25 and I am convinced as well in the right moment,
01:29 because the club needs time to plan the future while we are sorting the present,
01:37 and that's exactly what will happen now,
01:41 and from that point of view the emotions will come up.
01:44 Relief is not there anymore, because I knew before how I feel about it.
