00:00You talked about effort there, I know you've mentioned intensity as well.
00:03We've seen some really improved performances,
00:06that's the right word, from Lucas Diaz, Curtis Jones on a different level it seems.
00:12What are you doing with those individuals specifically to bring this extra level out?
00:16With Curtis maybe it's not me who did it, because he became a father
00:21and I had nothing to do with that!
00:23LAUGHTER
00:25Ah, no...
00:27LAUGHTER
00:29You never know if that plays a part or not.
00:33But since the moment he became a father he started putting great performances in.
00:41And he already did this in the first few weeks that we worked together in pre-season,
00:47I was like, whoa, quality player, but then his performances dropped a bit.
00:51But since the moment he became a father, he's outstanding again.
00:56It might have to do a bit with that, but in general I think it has to do with the way the team plays,
01:02because every player that comes in has a good performance,
01:06and that probably tells you a lot about the quality of the team, how they play together.
01:10As a result of that, individual performances are good as well.
01:20In his situation it seems like this, so let's wait if that is true.
