00:00Obviously you rested a lot of players in the previous game,
00:03we're expecting you to make a lot of changes,
00:05but how has the rest of the squad, any of the players coming back from injury?
00:09Yeah, you can say I rested a lot of players,
00:11you can also say you played the ones that needed playing time.
00:15And I was really pleased how they performed in PSV Eindhoven,
00:19who were, apart from three or four players that were not playing,
00:23had quite a strong team and we were more than competitive,
00:26even in the second half when there were so many youngsters on the pitch.
00:33And the ones that stayed behind, they didn't rest in the sense
00:38that they had three or four days off, they did train, but they didn't play a game.
00:42And I said already that doesn't give us any guarantees for Saturday,
00:47but it hopefully will help us during the upcoming three or four months,
00:51because the Premier League and the Champions League is a long season for them,
00:57with ten months in a row non-stop playing games without any weeks off in between.
01:04So hopefully that will help us to stay fresh for the upcoming months that are coming.
