00:00What about Jadon Sanchez? Obviously he was not selected in the squad last week.
00:05Is he back and available for selection?
00:07Do you expect him to be involved in the squad this weekend?
00:10We will see. We have a squad and I hope we will have a squad with double positioning.
00:19When we go into the season after the 1st of September,
00:23that means also that you can't select all the players for a game.
00:28But we need all the players throughout the season,
00:31because this will be a season of the survival of the fittest.
00:34Of course we have to manage it, but also the attitude of the players is very important.
00:39Sometimes they will be disappointed, but they have to deal with it.
00:43Because you don't win with 11 and you win as a squad.
00:49So the prizes are divided next May.
00:54So until then we need all the players in the squad,
00:57and all the players highly motivated to contribute.
01:00That is also not an expectation, it is a demand from the club and from me as a manager for the squad.
01:08The squad and the team is always more important than every individual.
