00:00 Coach, for the World Championship, do you have any pool of players or do you have a

00:06 personal wish list that you want to see composed in the national team?

00:12 Yeah, hold the mentality.

00:15 For me, no matter if you are a senior or if you are a beginner, you need to show me your

00:24 best.

00:25 Now you can have who is more famous, okay?

00:31 Bagunas, Espejo, but in the last season, Mandel, show me.

00:39 No, I can't play.

00:41 Okay, and after that, when Bagunas return, when Espejo return, they need to fight with

00:48 Mandel.

00:49 The position, it's good because this is a good fight.

00:52 One player help the other.

00:54 And the same, our first tournament in the CEC games, we play with Disquitado, it's

01:03 18 years old.

01:06 You play with Delanoix, 19.

01:09 You play with Tagbaus, 20.

01:11 You play with Odeaves, 20.

01:14 And you play inside the net.

01:17 Okay, and this is my proposal.

01:19 No matter who practices with me, you need to show me the practice and confirm the match.

01:28 And I put the best for the national team.

01:31 It's not a list.

01:33 Because if a list, I give a list for the referee, referee look at our list, look at the other

01:37 list, okay, this team win.

01:39 No, you need to play.

01:41 Okay, it's the same for the player.

01:43 You need to show me the practice and confirm the match.

01:46 And I don't care if I need to change, it's a national team.

01:51 It's not a playoff team.

01:54 It's a national team.
