00:00 I have a striking instinct, I have no doubt about that,
00:03 there's no youth level where you don't have that,
00:07 you have 10-year-olds with a striking instinct.
00:10 And he showed in the final that he arrives at the right moment,
00:14 so he was there three times in a final.
00:16 OK, not the first, the second outing for your boyhood club.
00:21 And you are there three times, and with a bigger, longer toe,
00:26 he probably scores already in the final.
00:28 So that he is there is cool, that the goals have the same size,
00:32 and the youth department is cool as well,
00:34 because that's why in a situation like that chipping is really good.
00:37 They are all talented otherwise, they would not play for Liverpool,
00:40 but in the youth department it's a little bit like that,
00:43 you can really be much better than the opponent.
00:45 That doesn't happen that often in adult football, to be honest.
00:48 And that's why we have to be ready for that,
00:51 and I saw that today, the boys make really big steps.
00:54 They have to develop a lot, pretty much everything,
00:58 and they grow still, and it's special.
01:04 And of course, it's strange for me as well, I never had that before,
01:08 that you play with that many kids and still can win football games.
01:11 It's a really interesting experience, to be honest.
01:15 Yeah, close before the finishing line I saw that as well,
01:19 so I'm really thankful for that.
