00:00I know maybe I was not correct to say in the right moment when we won the Premier League,

00:04but I'm saying that I've been eight years in Man City, so I'm not be eight more years,

00:08so that's why I'm closer to leave than stay. But I didn't say I'm leaving. So never, ever

00:14I would say when I'm leaving, I would say I'm leaving. But I didn't say. So that was

00:19my approach. Maybe I was not correct to say. That was my feeling right now. So we spoke

00:26with the club and said it's a lot of years, so we'll see what happens. But I don't rule

00:31it out absolutely to extend the contract. So when I said to Samuel, I would love to

00:37stay because I would love to stay. So that's why I don't want to happen. I want to deny

00:42my feelings. I want to see my players. Nine years today in the same club is an eternity.

00:50And I want to be sure it's the right decision, not just for me, for the club, it's the right

00:54decision for the players. I think it's good to refresh the players, the managers, but

01:00at the same time we had success, still winning Premier League, still arriving in the last

01:04stages and we are defeating tournaments in Portland Champions League with a good prestigious

01:10the way we are already defeated. So this is my feeling right now.
