00:00Interesting as well, because it's a Tottenham-style play,
00:02they tend to seem to go for it and never really put the brakes on it.
00:06Yeah, yeah. I really have to give them credits,
00:13because if I look at Tottenham, and I come from Holland,
00:18but I did watch a lot of the match of the day,
00:20and I think about Gino La, Paul Kerskoen, Glenn Hoddle and Reason Modric,
00:26for me, Raphael van der Vaart, Gareth Bale,
00:30they've always been a certain brand in football for me,
00:33and a certain identity, and I think Positive Club gives them that identity back completely.
00:38So it's every time a joy to watch them,
00:41and sometimes results once in a while go against them.
00:44But I think they were one of the teams that beat City, like us.
00:49Not all of them beat them in the manner like we did and Tottenham did,
00:53because it was completely deserved in these two situations,
00:59dominated the whole game, we and Tottenham.
01:06So, great work that Ainge is doing over there,
01:11and I hope this is being seen a bit more.
01:13And I also hope, hope, hope that he wins the trophy, not the League Cup,
01:19but I'm completely a fan of his team for the Europa League,
01:25because people always talk about trophies, trophies, trophies,
01:28that that is so important.
01:30Now, for me, his brand of football, his style of football is so much more important.
01:35If he can combine that with winning something,
01:36that would be so good for football in general,
01:39because then people can stop talking about it as too attacking or whatever.
01:44How on earth can you play too attacking football?
