00:00I spoke a little bit with Ilkay and he had incredible words about Barcelona, about his
00:06experience there, for the city, for the people who were there and for the players. He spoke
00:13so highly about his experience there and about the situation. Everybody knows in Barcelona
00:20and it happened, it wasn't expected. So I didn't call, we didn't call Kunlun and said
00:24I couldn't expect because he played really well last season. Still, I know how competitive
00:30he is, how he drives his mates to his best. And when it happened I said, yeah, I love
00:38midfield players, I love his qualities. He gives us incredible alternatives in the way
00:45we want to play. He adapts in two or three roles perfectly. He knows everything. He doesn't
00:49need time to settle. If tomorrow he has to play, he knows everything. So that's why it's
01:00comfortable for us and I know his mentality is always in the right position. He doesn't
01:06come, as I said before, to, OK, let's go into late. The last two years he had a completely
01:11different. I know he will be upset when it's not going well, he will be happy and thinking
01:16on the next, on the next, you know, when it's going well. And that's why he's back
01:23as a person that is beloved for his mates, also so important. Everyone is so thrilled
01:28and happy that he's back for the fans, I'm pretty sure of that. And yeah, he's going
01:34to try to fight again with us.
