Transcript

00:00Jeroen Kapteijns, just do it in Dutch, Jozef won all here at Old Trafford

00:14what's that mean for you as the coach of FC Twente?

00:17well it's a good result I think we just did a good job throughout the whole game

00:28I think we were doing well both at the high and the low end we had a lot of

00:36possession of the ball I think the secret was in the ability to change

00:44sides every time we were able to change sides it created a chance for us not

00:51every opportunity was fully capitalized on but I think we did well this is the

00:58best game that the team's played under you or is that a difficult question I

01:02think that's a difficult point look if you look at the results then it's quite

01:08impressive that we have scored a point here I think we were solid in all

01:17regards did you speak to Eric afterwards no but Eric is seen as a

01:28great coach in the Netherlands so it's quite impressive that you're able to

01:32beat his team and score a point in this championship well yes we have a good

01:37team we're a developing team as I already said and of course you can't

01:43expect things to go right every time but we're still growing as a club we're

01:46still growing as a team our individuals are growing and that's nice to see and

01:52it's something you see we saw today what about Sam Lamas well Sam is solid he

02:11missed an opportunity down our right side which was a shame but he is a very

02:16important player in the team but it's not the only one what did you think

02:20about your supporters I think we meaning everybody involved with FC Twente have

02:31really put us put ourselves on the map we managed to gain third place last year

02:37in our domestic championships which we worked very hard for and now we're in

02:43the European Championship and I can see some development in our chances to to

02:50win the Dutch cups as well

02:59ultimately we're happy but we'll be back in training again after this and we'll

03:06be getting ready for the next game

03:10yeah probably I think the key was our game plan what I said we want to press

03:37high also here I think we did it very well but also how we want to play with

03:46the ball we want to build up we want to from the build up to the position game

03:55also for a switch of play you know what I mean and that was the key I think in

03:59this game and I think we did it very good

04:09for Dutch football is very important of course it's important because yeah what

04:14I said for us also have for Dutch football but also for Twente is it

04:19important because we work last year very hard we developing we growing and yeah

04:28for us is that yeah it's is a good result yes

04:41you made a number of changes in the second half could you explain what your

04:46thought process with your substitutes were yeah you see in the game you see

04:52sometimes I do say that in good English is that we the energy flow some with

05:01players away and then yeah sometimes in the game you have a story you know and

05:08it is very important what time you do a substitute you know and and I start

05:15always with my my man we have starters and we have finishes and I believe in

05:21that and I think it's it's it's about timing and sometimes you must have a

05:24little bit luck yeah yeah okay thank you very much
