00:00In this press conference, I wasn't prepared for what I was going to say,
00:07but my English was half-understandable.
00:09That was my preparation for the press conference.
00:11I only had five days.
00:12I said, I'm the normal one.
00:15I'm a totally normal guy.
00:17I'm the normal one, maybe, if you want this.
00:21Yes.
00:23It's a huge,
00:25usually sold-out shirt,
00:28I've never shot such a nonsense out of my hip.
00:31But still, in principle, it makes sense.
00:34I'm actually a completely normal guy.
00:36You have to notice that all the employees around me
00:39are running around like on toes
00:41and waiting until I've made my decision
00:43whether they can stay there or not.
00:45And I thought, wow, he's crazy.
00:47So I got everyone together and said,
00:49wait a minute, wait a minute,
00:50no one's going to be left out.
00:51Everyone stays.
00:52We'll get it.
00:53Maybe it wasn't that bad before.
00:54And everything that didn't go well,
00:56we can improve somehow, probably.
00:58We'll find out over time.
01:00And that's exactly how I handled it.
01:02So that means I'm very, very open,
01:04even though I know that the whole thing
01:06will probably end at some point.
