00:00 We're very proud of it as a club to ever play in the England senior team.
00:04 I don't think there's a greater honour for a club.
00:08 But I've told you this so many times about the fact that he will be a very good goalkeeper
00:16 for England.
00:17 But at this moment in time, we only take it as a positive and everything else is just
00:25 for him to keep progressing and keep fighting for his spot.
00:30 It's not too difficult.
00:32 You say a lot has been made.
00:34 From my side, nothing has been made out of it.
00:37 Two very good goalkeepers and it's all about the team right now.
00:41 I think every decision that we make is for one goal and one goal only.
00:46 It's to stay up.
00:49 There's really nothing else that comes into play at the moment.
00:52 We have two goalkeepers, very, very good.
00:57 Any decision I make is always for the team.
01:01 When I pick one goalkeeper, whether it's one or the other, it's always for the team.
01:05 In the end, what I really believe in, it's how I grew up.
01:10 My youth years are Anderlecht from six to 20.
01:15 It's a competitive environment.
01:16 I've never known anything different.
01:18 Talented players fighting for positions and using any type of either setback or to become
01:26 better.
01:27 That's part of the journey.
01:28 You guys are thinking about it way more than I am.
01:31 For me, it's really binary.
01:34 It's one or two, that's it.
01:36 I have to pick one and I'll pick and that's it.
01:40 It's not a discussion for me.
01:44 The players know that this is also how I choose.
01:48 So the only thing I'd say about fans' favourites and all this is, we've been in the game long
01:54 enough to know.
01:55 If you remember the start of last season, it didn't start like this.
02:00 You earn it.
02:01 That's part of the journey of so many players where you look back at the early years, maybe
02:07 you're not, and then at the end you are.
02:10 For me, that's not a factor.
