00:00But Liverpool fans as well not only told to me, I think if you watch a lot of football

00:12and I've been there once myself, I also felt what it means for the fans to see the team

00:18playing. So it's a win-win situation, a very good team to work with, but implementing a

00:26playing style that is going to be similar but a bit different as well, that will lead

00:33to a lot of enthusiasm by the fans. And if that's going to be a good cooperation, the

00:40two of them, then hopefully it will lead to special things.

00:43I don't have an opinion about what their best position would be at their countries, because

00:50it always depends on other players you have as well. You cannot judge a player on his

00:53own, it's always a team effort. But I do have my opinion about where they're going

00:58to play here. But if you don't mind, I'm going to talk to them about that first, and work

01:04with them first before telling it here.

01:09English people like to believe that it's the best league in the world, and I believe this

01:13as well. So it's normal that if you work at such a league, there are many good managers

01:21which you're going to face. And Pep is one of them, that's for sure. I think it was last

01:28time when I had the interviews with Liverpool, I was lucky enough that I lived in an era

01:32where I could see the Barcelona team, it's one thing we have in common. But when Pep

01:38left over there, there came a new era, and that was the rivalry between Liverpool and

01:43City. So I've seen a lot of that rivalry, and a lot of games of both teams. I'm looking

01:50forward to work here, but not specifically playing against Man City, because there are

01:56many nice teams we're going to face, starting with Ipswich of course, which is at this moment

02:02the most important one.
