00:00 It's no more important than... It's not, actually.
00:03 What's more important is that, come the end of this year,
00:06 we've got a team that's going to challenge the following year
00:08 and keep growing.
00:09 And we're only going to do that if...
00:10 Right now, the most important thing is us, our identity and our football.
00:14 Because just getting into... I mean, mate, it's not a...
00:18 It's not a Willy Wonka golden ticket, you know?
00:22 It just gets you a year in Champions League.
00:24 But if you don't build on that, if you don't grow from that,
00:28 it's meaningless.
00:29 I think, anyway.
00:31 Because we're not in it for participation.
00:35 We're in it to win things.
00:37 So, yes, Champions League will show that, you know what?
00:40 If we make Champions League this year,
00:42 it means we've progressed from last year, yes.
00:44 But has our football progressed?
00:47 Are we a better team? Are we a stronger team?
00:49 Are we going to improve in the summer
00:51 to make sure that next year we're going to be even better?
00:54 That's much more important to me.
00:56 And so my target this year has always been to create a team
01:00 that I hope will lay strong foundations
01:03 for moving forward, being a team that can win things.
01:07 That's where it begins and ends.
