00:00We had to have a negative experience first to have the ground to change something.
00:08We found a good group, the team found each other very well.
00:12There are very good characters that fit together.
00:15I emphasize again, that does not mean that the players who are no longer there are bad characters.
00:19It just has to fit together and everyone has a certain role and you have to identify with that role.
00:24It is also completely human that a club sometimes has a different role than a national team.
00:28Some can do that well, some less well.
00:31But also the players who are no longer there are all good guys and all good people.
00:35You just have to make a decision as a coach and try to find a team that fits together well.
00:41In terms of football, I think we have become very dominant.
00:43Our counter-pressing was already at the level of Manchester City during the World Cup.
00:48When it comes to the numbers, the benchmark in Europe, when it comes to the part of the game, we do very well.
