00:00I think we have a problem in terms of the demand for this position.
00:06I think there is a problem because, first of all, you don't enjoy it, it's not quality of life,
00:09and then it seems that you risk your life here at every moment.
00:13It doesn't happen in any club. That's why I say it's Kurel.
00:16He has lived moments as a player where we have had complicated situations,
00:32then we have achieved great things, with a great team we have not won anything,
00:38and then we have won everything by playing very good football.
00:42He knows perfectly well what to do, and you have to give him time and confidence.
00:48Barcelona has to go up.
00:50In addition, the talent that there is, of the more veteran people,
00:53together with the generation of young people that we have,
00:56well, I'm optimistic, yes, but we'll see.
00:59For me as a coach, it means a lot.
01:01I'm a rookie in this, and winning 0-4 at the Bernabéu reinforces me a lot.
01:06For sure, and it reinforces the project, the idea of the game, the model of the game,
01:12and there is no doubt that Barcelona has to compete by playing in this way.
01:17I insist, I think we have saved a season that could have been catastrophic.
01:21It would have been catastrophic not to enter Europe,
01:23it would have been catastrophic at a sporting level.
01:28For me personally, if you ask me, it gives me a lot of credibility.
01:32It happened to me a bit as a player, which was difficult at the beginning,
01:36that they believed in me, and as a coach it has happened to me practically the same.
01:41So this title gives me credibility, it gives me stability.
01:46I think the club needs a change in dynamics,
01:49and above all as a club, thinking about the club,
01:52thinking about the players as well, thinking about them, I think they will also free themselves.
02:23I don't think he is the type of guy who changes his mind like that.
02:28The truth is that Barça can't be proud of the coach we have.
02:49He is as much a Barça fan as I am, and what we are trying to do is for the good of the club.
02:58My advice would be to enjoy it, but it's impossible.
