00:00Southampton, then.
00:02You're welcome.
00:05In terms of their start to the season, obviously, point-wise it's not gone great for them,
00:10they're struggling at the wrong end of the table,
00:12but Russell Martin has been absolutely steadfast in his belief
00:16that he will play the same way, he will stick to his principles.
00:19How much do you admire managers doing that,
00:21even when the results are not going the way that they should be?
00:25We will have success.
00:27When that happens, you always have success sooner or later.
00:30You start to change a lot of your ideas or your thoughts.
00:33Normally, when you change your ideas or your thoughts,
00:36I'm not saying to adjust something, it's not about paying four in the back,
00:39five in the back, that is not the point.
00:42If you start to change your thoughts due to the results,
00:45the players will notice, they will know you are not a big believer.
00:49When that happens, sooner or later the results,
00:52as bad as it is coming, they are coming.
00:56If we always have bad results in the walls, then we know what will happen,
01:01how we struggle to win.
01:04They always have good momentum, so the games against Renfrew,
01:07against United, the first half an hour, against Leicester,
01:11it starts really, really good.
01:13They have good moments, they have the courage to play.
01:17The team I use as a keeper, like I use with Ramsdell right now,
01:20I can use it with all the process, it's always difficult.
01:24After the Champions League, I prefer to play against the teams in bed at the table,
01:29because you are focused and the big mistake we can do is just watching the table.
01:35But this is the way it is.
